The Saga of Swamp Thing #2

A fascinating artifact from 1982, this issue of The Saga of the Swamp Thing carries a photo cover straight from the Avco-Embassy motion picture — the moss-covered, hulking figure of Swamp Thing himself looms out of a misty, cypress-filled swamp, every inch the creature of the marshes brought to vivid life on screen. The banner proudly announces DC's tie-in to the major motion picture, making this a genuine snapshot of the moment the character crossed from comics to cinema. Inside, writer Martin Pasko and artist Tom Yeates continue their run with "Something to Live For," brought to color by Tatjana Wood.
