I absolutely love this arc of Swamp Thing, I would definitely say this is the better part of Moore's run
I absolutely LOVE the blink and you’ll miss it cameo by Lex Luthor in this story. In only a few panels Moore establishes why a mere mortal is Superman’s deadliest enemy: a mad scientist who has zero qualms with making deadly weapons for the highest bidder and is clearly ten steps ahead of everyone else on earth, especially the Man Of Steel. I never ever liked the evil head of a corporation version of Luthor, which to me always came across as just a watered down and derivative version of Miller’s Kingpin. Luthor deserves better!
Chester Williams is based on Chester Hackenbush, Bryan Talbot's psychadelic adventurer from Brainstorm Comix, one of the British Undergrounds, published in 1975. Talbot sent a copy to Marvel comics for a laugh, and actually got a fan letter back from Stan Lee.
They both do look like Steve Bissette, though.
ah, beat me to it. ^ this
Thanks for this - one of the greatest comics ever, IMO.
Completely agree!!!!
I wish Marvel would release a b&w collection of the Warrior mag Marvelman stories.
The medicinal tuber issue is before this one, issue #43 - Windfall. That is also the first issue in which the Chester character appears.
Have you reached out to Totleben for a shoot interview? He's responsive to email and I believe recently was part of a CGC facilitator signing.
we need to discuss how the batmobile is just the thing from tarkus by ELP
Can you take a look at Big Numbers by Moore and Sienkiewicz?
I know schedules and craziness and sometimes the artist hates lookin at his old work but it would be cool af if you guys could get Bissette or Veitch to read along their best work like you did with da Eastman/Laird and Gibbons videos. Just for da freakin archive of it.
This is my favorite comic issue of all time
Personally, I kinda wish it would've ended here in retrospect. Even though there is some interesting issues to come, and you can see some sort of overlap with what Moore did with Manhattan in Mars, I think after this is when the run starts losing momentum. It's a shame it kinda ends with a whimper rather than with a bang.
yeah, it definitely peaked here for me, still what an amazing journey up to this issue.
I borrowed Alan Moore’s entire Swampthing run from my local library in Blackburn uk, I should’ve just kept them because after I took them back, a few months later I went to borrow them again and I found out that 3/4s of em got borrowed n nicked. I was pretty gutted, the Batman story was so great along with the deadman, Constantine stuff. It was all brilliant
Yanick Paquette, a pretty fantastic artist in his own right, had some Totleben like marks during his run and the recent Mike Perkins Swamp thing is pretty awesome for vegetation.
yooooo chocolate Bonkers were my jam!
Good video. I have a question, are you going to do an episode on the issue of Swamp Thing, where Abby Arcane is sent to hell?
You guys said the art isn't like anything else in comics at the time. How about Frank Thorne's Red Sonja? Weird that it's a guy from such a different generation.
