Damn you again Marcus! You got all my favorite pages from this great Perkins run on Swampy. Big congrats on this beautiful splash. It belongs in your collection. Now if only I could write you a custom song about it... 🤔 🎶
Beautiful splash page!! Congrats!!!
In the last few years Perkins has become a powerhouse artist and one of the best to use ink wash techniques. This image shows Perkins at his very best !
Fantastic. DC needs to issue a complete hardcover collection of the material soon.
Beautifully iconic image of Swamp Thing and great homage to that memorable splash! I find that Perkins' version shows a more heroic/triumphant mood, compared to that definitely ecstatic one by Bissette and Totleben.
The detail in Perkins' work is just extraordinary. I love his rendition of Swamp Thing.
Fantastic homage splash! A high note for sure!
After 16 issues of CONSTANT struggle, it's nice to see Levi enjoying life a bit. Congrats on the Full Manhattan!!!
One of the best pages in any of the books! love it. congrats Marcus!!
Spectacular, Marcus! A thrilling image to close out an extraordinary run, and a fantastic example of what you were referring to in your great write up; Ram and Mike boldly taking things forward and putting their own stamp on Swamp Thing while being respectful to (but not ensnared by) the giants that have come before. The perfect punctuation to celebrate surviving the immense struggles of his amazing 16 issues; Levi earned this moment the hard way. You are a worthy guardian of this lovely piece of the Green! :) Sincere congrats, Marcus!
It captures those rare moments when you are happy, warm, and safe. You hold on to those for as long as you can.
In a word: Triumphant!
In two words: Helppppp, I'm trapped in these two words.
Happy Halloween indeed. Marcus is like the kid who always knows what house gives out the good candy.
Cover worthy splash. Huge congrats.
I don't think there's really anything more I can add to everything I've already said about this series and the artistry in particular, but seeing this image again reminds me of what a fantastic and aesthetically pleasing illustration Perkins created for the story's denouement. I see this Swamp Thing run as a true love letter by Ram V & Mike Perkins to the Moore/Bissette/Totleben and Wein/Wrightson runs that came before and a more beautiful love letter could not possibly have been crafted. Kudos to you for snagging this magnificent work of art. Would look great framed. 😉
That's one happy looking biomass. Enjoy your moment in the sun Swampy, you earned it. Lovely page, congrats Marcus!
Extraordinary! Congrats!
The creature seems more human than ever. I mean... amazing Perkins job! I can feel the human being behind the Swamp Thing image!

Mike Perkins was made to draw this character, and this cover-worthy splash shows exactly why. All those amazing artistic techniques! And I love seeing Swamp Thing experiencing a moment of pure joy. Major congrats, and Happy Halloween!!
Sounds like you getting this was the coup de grâce to the dreams of other lovers of this series. Breaking hearts and taking arts. Congrats, Marcus!
NIce splash of Swamp Thing! Usdually he's so brooding, this one captures a happy-to-be-alive version.
Love it, Marcus! It's nice to see a Happy Swampy.
One wouldn't think that you can label a picture of a swamp monster as beautiful, yet here we are. Beautiful!
Marcus, I can imagine you mimicking this same pose when you realized you snagged it and all the weight of the world was off your shoulders and again when you saw it in person. I know I would! Congrats!
Such a great Swamp Thing piece. Mike does amazing work. Additionally I must say that little did I know that the Swamp Thing was such a big soccer fan.
An exemplary illustration of everyones' favorite sentient plant! Congrats
Love this Swamp Thing splash by Mike Perkins! The pose is so iconic, with the Swamp Thing revelling in the sun. A nice homage to the Bissette and Totleben run as well. Perkin's use of ink wash really sets this splash apart and gives the drawing a richness and texture that I really love. Congrats!
Killer Splash bud! Great taste as usual!
Great page! Perfect balance, layout, and just the right amount of icky - just as it should be for Swampy. Congrats!
This is a striking image, Marcus - wow!
"CAN YOU DIG IT??" Great piece!
Perkins uses every trick in the book to make this splash page a perfect homag to what came before.
Fabulous!
Probably the best image of Swampie from the entire run! Great piece!
Great pièce by the master !!
Wow!! Cool!!
The artist/character match was definitely a home run with Perkins/SW - seen so many killer examples here on CAF, and congrats on nabbing yours! It looks like SW agrees :) Textural goodness all around. Congrats, Marcus!
Perkin's fantastic foilage for sure.
Wow, I don't think you could ask for a more perfect page! This captures his joy and is a perfect homage to the classic Swamp Thing of yore. Beautiful addition to the collection.
