*DC: Although, a decade later, Alan Moore became for most readers the definitive writer on DC’s muck monster, back in 1972, the first series of Swamp Thing launched at the hands of Berni Wrightson, who is undoubtedly the definitive artist for the character. After debuting in House Of Secrets #92, Swampy appeared in his own series and this first issue is a nice pence stamped glossy copy, with just minor handling and edge wear. Staples are firm and pages a supple off-white, with just traces of tiny dog-earring to the very extremities of upper right corners. A narrow strip of white spine where the comic has been finished in the publication process with the line of the front cover slightly off centre to the right (see scan)
