DescriptionHere is the Wrightson Swamp Thing page of my dreams and I couldn't be happier! This origin recap from issue #2 retells Swamp Thing's dramatic creation for the very first time. A prime Wrightson masterpiece with classic, detailed images central to Swamp Thing lore: a fateful confrontation, the lab explosion, his transformation in the swamp, the tragic death of his wife Linda, and the monster's sweet revenge...-- Wrightson filled the panels with iconic Swamp Thing images...a grail page for me!

To be able to obtain an origin page with such excellent content from one of the key artistic runs of its time must be a great feeling.

To acquire a Wrightson Swamp Thing page is already putting a gem into your collection. But when that page features either the origin or the origin retold, all across the entire page, some would say you don't have a gem, but rather all the Queen's jewels!

What a wonderful page! You can feel Bernie's mastery of the story oozing off the page with the heavy pungency of the swamp. A cornerstone page for sure!
