The Secret Spiral of Swamp Kid

From 2019, DC Comics published this single-issue original graphic novel by writer-artist Kirk Scroggs, a standalone tale that reimagines the Swamp Thing mythos through the eyes of a middle-school monster. The story follows Russell, a plant-based seventh grader navigating the horrors of adolescence—from school bullies to uncontrollable vine growth—all chronicled in his secret notebook. Scroggs blends humor, heart, and a touch of eco-horror to create a fresh, all-ages entry in DC's lineup, offering a quirky, character-driven spin on a classic concept.
