“The Man Who Would Not Die!”

Set against a fog-shrouded graveyard, this November 1983 issue puts Swamp Thing center stage — green, grimacing, and straining with unmistakable fury as he grapples with two monstrous figures whose contorted, sinewy forms twist around each other amid gnarled dark roots. Tom Yeates's cover pencils and inks deliver a striking composition that feels genuinely unsettling, with the title "The Man Who Would Not Die!" promising something relentlessly persistent lurking within. With Martin Pasko and Len Wein on writing duties and art from Stephen Bissette and John Totleben, this is a strong entry in DC's early-'80s run of atmospheric horror.
