1st app of Swamp Thing, Alex Olsen; Bernie Wrightson cover/art; COMIC BOOK IMPACT rating of 9 (CBI)Considered by many to be THE bronze-age DC key, with a classic greytone cover. Swamp Thing hearkens to a literary theme of man's alienation from his roots in the more halcyon days of the 70's. Comic book fans, just barely out of the decade of love and decadence, found in DC Comic's character an earthy message of spiritual meaning in a contemporary world. One of DC's best covers ever by master Bernie Wrightson.
The first appearance of the Swamp Thing, House of Secrets #92 is an all-time classic. The cover looks stunning on this 9.2 CGC copy, with off-white pages. This book is also QES Certified, with an impressive prime focal area, sharp right edge, and deep color strike. This iconic Bernie Wrightson cover looks beautifully terrifying. Having starred in countless comics, multiple movies, and even his own TV show, Swamp Thing is a perennial fan-favorite. Don't pass up his first appearance!
