Swamp Thing #2 - Bernie Wrightson art & cover + 1st Un-Men

Bernie Wrightson

4.  Swamp Thing v1 #2, 1973 - A mob of Un-Men overwhelm the Swamp Thing with their sheer numbers, bringing him to the mountaintop castle of the villainous Anton Arcane. Bernie Wrightson's inking is noticeably softer and more textural on several pages, perhaps aided by another artist? The effect perfectly enhances the two incredible splashes, especially the atmospheric view on the interior page below. The Swamp Thing's mystical transformation on page 21 and the ensuing chase on page 22 are two of many magnificently drawn scenes throughout. This Len Wein story was later reprinted in DC Special Series #2 and Roots of the Swamp Thing #1. This is 2 of 10 Swamp Thing issues by Wrightson. /// key 1st appearance, 1st cover Anton Arcane, Un-Men / Top 10 Wrightson comics / Wrightson gallery
