Hoo boy - Now THAT'S a prime Bissette / Totleben Swampy cover.
HOLY SHIT! That's an amazingly fantastic piece Felix! Thanks for posting it up.
My first ever issue of ST, so this hits that sweet spot for me of pure nostalgia AND being a fantastic piece of comic art.
Killer. Absolutely killer.
I love the monkey king storyline feat. Etrigan; one of my favorite parts in the whole run. What a magnificent cover Felix!
Full tilt creativity!
Great pull. This cover oozes with style!
Mindblowingly cool! I loved Stephen Bissette and Jonn Totleben's run on Saga of Swamp Thing. Every issue was filled with moments like this one--Just jawdropping images that seared their way into your brain. The creature Swampy is battling here is truly frightening. Love the hand-lettered title branded into the skin of the creature. Fabulous cover. Thanks for sharing!
Felix, the dealer, is no match for Felix, the collector! Wow!
Wow, beyond awesome! I could spend all day looking at this. The art is truly fearsome. Bissette and Totleben's second commanding cover cannot miss. (Thank you for sharing!)
An absolute nostalgic grand slam! Congrats on this fantastic cover!
The titel logo incorporated in the piece alone is great. Thanks for sharing!
Amazing cover. Strong theme, big characters, and it hits me right in the nostalgia spot; making for a perfect oa trifecta!
It makes me wonder what other trinkets you have laying around in the closet!
The British invasion starts here! An introduction to Alan Moore for many American readers as he, Bissette, and Totleben raised the benchmark in writing and artwork for all comics. If you read it as a kid, it made you feel like an adult to have some this sophisticated in your pull list.
Stunning cover. Beautiful rendition of ST
Absolutely amazing artwork.
Swampy, Abby, ghouls, and luscious Totleben inks! That logo is just the icing on the torso - what more could anyone want? Congrats on this beauty!
Perfect example of how talented Bissette and Totleben were on this run. A wonderful cover that is packed to the brim!
Arguably the best and definitely one of the best covers of the entire run, the first half of which I still love more than anything else Moore has ever written. An absolute classic in every sense of the word. Congratulations!
Sweet Swamp!
An excellent example from a classic run and team - congrats!
What a game changer Swamp Thing was. #34 was the first time I fully appreciated the potential of the medium and how it could do things that books and film couldn't. Visual poetery. Moore's the Swamp Thing would not have come to life without the art of John and Steve...it was destiny that they worked together on this project. This still holds up on rereading and I'd put it up there with both my favorite and the most important of Moore's works.
Simply gorgeous!
Exceptional
Iconic. That seprent monter does not stand a chance.
Great cover from a memorable team. Thanks for sharing!
absolutely stunning - agree with everything you say about the Moore/Bissette/Totleben run. One of those series I re-read periodically....
Classic piece!
That is SUPERB!
Jaw-dropping!
Great cover!, I love it when an aspect of the art is used to create an additional border, really brings you in.
Amazing, Felix! Always top notch shit!
Just adding my comment to the chorus. Wonderful piece!
You took this straight from Stephen Bissette's wall, while he was telling you stories and he still has not noticed it gone? You master of misdirection, illusion and possibly hypnotism, you.Lol. That reading of your description is unlikely. Great cover.
Never read much Swamp Thing but I understand its significance in our hobby; and even without as much familiarity as others, I can recognize that this is a spectacular piece of comic art. Love all the organic detail, the integration of the title into the art, and of course the little appearance of (I assume) the Demon on the rootop.
Gorgeous Felix!
Wow! A most classic image, Felix, and the pure illustration is tops. I'm sure you've pored over lots! Big congrats!
Excellent!
This is outstanding, congrats man!
Absolutely beautiful! Love this cover!
Incredible ST cover!! Great big ST image! Totleben killing it here! Congrats!!!
Whoa Felix!! Didn't realize you had posted this sensational cover! Thank you for sharing. Moore/Bissette/Totleben Swamp Thing is as good as comics get, and this cover is one of their best.
