Swamp Thing #23 - non-attributed Nestor Redondo art

Swamp Thing #23

Swamp Thing v1 #23, 1976 - A new masthead heralds a new direction for the character, but the series ends with this issue. The Swamp Thing's origin is retold, mimicking some of Bernie Wrightson's panels from Swamp Thing #1. Nestor Redondo's last issue is also unfortunately his weakest. While some illustrations are well executed (pages 4-5 & 10), most fall short of earlier standards (perhaps also aided by studio assistants?). One saving grace is a montage creatively formed around the Swamp Thing's face (see interior page below). As with the previous two issues, some comic book guides have failed to attribute this work to Redondo.
