Swamp Thing (1st Series)

    (DC, 1972-1976)
™ and ©1974 DC Comics, Inc.

Swamp Thing first appeared in House of Secrets #92. This monster was once Doctor Alec Holland, a brilliant biochemist who was working on research in the far recesses of the bayou. When he refused to sell out his research to a gang of thugs, they bombed his laboratory. Holland was covered in the flaming chemicals, which interacted with the swampy vegetation to transform him into this hideous man/monster.

This first Swamp Thing title began in 1972, and featured art by the great Bernie Wrightson, who penciled the first ten issues. It continued to run until issue #24 in 1976. Afterward, Swampie continued to make guest appearances in various titles for the next few years. In 1982 he once again starred in his own series, The Saga of the Swamp Thing.
