Swamp Thing #20

Swamp Thing faces what may be his most unsettling challenge yet in issue #20 — a creature that appears to be his own monstrous reflection. Ernie Chan's cover captures the two hulking, plant-encrusted figures locked in a brutal grapple beneath a full moon, murky swamp water churning at their feet and bare dead trees looming in the midnight blue background. With Gerry Conway writing and Nestor Redondo's atmospheric artwork inside, "The Mirror Monster" promises the kind of brooding, bog-drenched horror that made this 1975 series essential reading.
