1972 Swamp Thing #1 and #2  Comic Books
The 1972 release of "Swamp Thing" #1 and #2 from DC Comics introduced readers to the haunting origin of Alec Holland, a scientist transformed into the plant-based creature known as Swamp Thing after a tragic explosion in the Louisiana swamps. Len Wein's writing established the character's core narrative, while Bernie Wrightson's atmospheric and detailed artwork brought the swamp's eerie environment and the monstrous Swamp Thing to vivid life, creating a chilling and unforgettable visual experience. These early issues laid the groundwork for the character's enduring legacy, exploring themes of horror, environmentalism, and the blurred boundaries between humanity and nature, which would be further developed in later iterations. Issue #2 continued to build upon the dark and compelling story.
