Description

This was the first page of original art from an Alan Moore book I acquired. It’s from Issue 25 of Saga of the Swamp Thing, which features the first cameo appearance of John Constantine. Admittedly, this page itself does not feature John Constantine. Nor Swamp Thing for that matter. But it does feature the creative output of the trio of Alan Moore, Stephen Bissette and John Totleben. But more importantly, it features a complete unit of storytelling. In a single page, Alan Moore and the artists tell the whole backstory of these two minor characters, whilst foreshadowing what is to come in the ensuing pages. That’s efficient storytelling at its finest. And the caption at the end of the page, is about as effective a page-turn transitional technique as I have seen.

Great page from a great early Moore/Bissette/Totleben collaboration, with a really memorable payoff. Congratulations!
