Swamp Thing #31

Part three of "The Gift of the Sureen" arrives with a cover that makes the stakes unmistakably clear: a man in flowing white wrappings strains urgently along a massive tree branch while a snarling, plant-massed visage — unmistakably Swamp Thing's — looms behind him, teeth bared and glowing with eerie green energy. The tagline "Out of His Body… Out of His Mind!" frames this striking image of separation and pursuit in a way that feels genuinely unsettling. Jesús Saiz's cover work gives the scene real tension, and Charles Soule's New 52 run on the character was in strong form by this 2014 installment.
