The Saga of Swamp Thing #36

The wreckage-strewn, orange-lit wasteland on Stephen R. Bissette and John Totleben's cover tells you everything you need to know about the tone of "The Nukeface Papers, Part 2" — a decayed, skeletal Swamp Thing lies sprawled in the foreground while a lone, coat-clad figure stands ominously in the middle distance amid industrial ruins. DC's "Sophisticated Suspense" banner feels well-earned here, with Alan Moore, Bissette, and Totleben delivering the kind of unsettling, atmospheric dread that made this 1985 run so compelling. It's a striking image that promises something far darker than your average superhero fare.
