Me: Ah, mail’s here.

Absolute Swamp Thing: The Oversize Edition
At long last, DC Comics is proud to present the original early appearances of Swamp Thing in prestigious Absolute format. Created by comics legends Len Wein and Bernie Wrightson, the muck monster from the bayou would go on to become one of DC’s premier horror characters. This oversize edition includes Swamp Thing’s first appearance in The House of Secrets #92 plus Swamp Thing #1-13.

I think this is the last outstanding item.

At least for now. We’ll see what else shows up – unexpectedly or otherwise – in the next Mail Call.


Born and raised in the sparsely populated Upper Peninsula of Michigan, Jon Maki developed an enduring love for comics at an early age.
