Description

I was pretty impressed by this cover off the solicits, and then even more so when I saw the OA. Touches of color are always extremely striking and appreciated. As a cover it’s almost perfect - sets up the situation efficiently. Mike Perkins continues to slay this series.

The title is an overlay.

Update August 2022 - Also used as the second trade cover - Wicked!

A killer Swamp Thing illustration and all the scratch board technique gives off the impression of a driving rain in the extremely wet jungle. Excellent cover from an excellent series!

Awesome!  Of course, get major Predator movie poster vibes.

A striking effect with the heat signature shown by a target scope.  It also doubles as a view of the globe and the heat signature of our world.

Amazing, until I read your description I thought the colour must be an overlay too. So cool you get to see it in person

Great great cover. I'm curious how he achieved the heat signature effect. Is that markers?

It's absolutely bonkers that the target effect isn't a digital add-on. I mean the man took the time to hand-render in the pixelation too? Just STOP, Mike Perkins. He just keeps hitting new levels.

Sorry buddy, that's my bad, I forgot that the overlay sharpened up the colors a bit - while Perkins spotted the color, he didn't pixelate it.

Man, some outstanding detail here, and the colors really pop.  Does appear that Perkins really got a chance to show OUT on this particular book.  Congrats!

This cover is killer! I need to hop on the Perkins train and snatch up some of this Swampy goodness.

How did I not comment on this when it first burst forth on CAF?  Must have been so dazzled my fingers refused to type.  This particular pose and aspects of the handling/shading remind me of several comic gods, including Wrightson of course but also John Buscema and Frazetta, but of course this is unmistakably Perkins at his new best.  What a unique, but grounded, style he has developed
