I remember getting this off the stand. It did change everything: with Bissette and Totleben, Moore peeled away everything we thought comix could be, beginning a run that still resonates 30+ years later. A review of “Loving the Alien”, one of the strangest episodes in the latter days of the run, would be excellent! More Moore!!! 🖖♾
the opening with the rain kinda echoes the opening to "Watchmen" a little if you squint. love the line about the houseplants lol
This is a Perfect Halloween episode
12:18 - the smudge effect on Sunderland’s feet on the black and white reprint was to make it look like he was struggling and kicking as he was being suffocated, instead of just dangling motionless with his eyes bugging out as in the original comic. I think it was to make his death more brutal.
Most fascinating thing for me is how the story's climax is right on the first page and then its all deconstruction, both of Swamp Thing and Woodrue's madness, but also of comics boundaries. Easily one of the most relevant single issues ever.
I first read this in the Best of DC Digest. I think some of my first Alan Moore stories were in those tiny books.
I probably didn't read the story right away because I avoided horror as a kid.
Awesome. Easily one of my favorite single issues of all time.
I got my first Swampthing comic from Kroger's when I was 10. It had Batman on the cover so I had to get it. I was not prepared. It blew my kid mind
We need swamp thing in the DC movies right now
Having the luxury unlike the original readers to read them in collected form, Moore worked wonders on this comic leaps and bounds ahead of many of his peers.
the Best single issue of all time
damn i love these spotlight vids. Good job!
Great breakdown guys thank you. Read Moore comics!
did you do a black light swamp thing?
Is that zip-a-tone digital? I grew up with the Essential Vertigo reprints, this is maybe my first time seeing this in color, but I also know the trades have been recolored a time or two, and I don't know how accurate this "After Watchmen" reprint is to the original Tatjana Wood colors. That dot pattern being added to the black and white reprint makes the text harder to read, it wouldn't surprise me if it were an alteration, but I always took it as being something in the original. Of course I didn't know they deleted a line of dialogue from the bottom of the page either!
If you're doing horror classics from the British invasion, I hope you cover the Dr. Destiny diner issue from Sandman where Mike Dringenberg took over as the main artist. I haven't read it in forever, so I don't know if it still holds up, but I remember it freaked me the hell out when I first read it.
If you ever have Bisette on again, could you ask them what they were originally going to do with Linda Holland's missing corpse? It's quickly dismissed in this issue, but I wonder what the original plan was.
