Writer: Len Wein
Artists: Bernie Wrightson, Nestor Redondo
Collects: House of Mystery 92, Swamp Thing (1st series, 1972) 1-13
Whenever someone says Swamp Thing, the first name to ring a bell is Alan Moore. True, Alan took our dear Swampy to places he had never been, but before that, there had to be a writer who took him to some places for the first time.
That was Len Wein. Granted, those places weren't stupendous or awe inspiring; rather they were more along the line of the old (now!) horror stories featured by EC Comics and Gold Key Comics. But for this old horror story fan, they were a treat to the eyes as well as the mind.
