Swampy goodness! This mature muckster emotes madly, reminding mankind to make meadows, not machines.

Love the colors! A great piece from a great era for both Swamp Thing and comics in general!

It looks like a painted piece with Totleben using just markers. If they ever fade, the intense stare will still remain and the colors would look like a withered Swamp Thing. However, seeing that it's been 38+ years, this looks to be an evergreen piece representing the resonant Swamp Thing Totleben run.

How impressive this gem must be in person, in all its 11x17 glory!
