the blob Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 (edited) OK, I am more than happy if Phantom Stranger 14 heats up as I have a few copies and no copies of HOS 92 anymore, but what is all this "prototype" stuff? Isn't is a month after HOS 92 in 1971?? When a character is already introduced, can we still be talking about later prototypes?>?> https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2334524.m570.l1313&_nkw=phantom+stranger+14+swamp&_sacat=0&LH_TitleDesc=0&_osacat=0&_odkw=phantom+stranger+14&LH_Complete=1&rt=nc&LH_Sold=1 Of course, the Phantom stranger monster looks more like Man Thing... which came out before HOS 92 and PS 14! (Which, of course, was a rip off of The Heap from 20 years earlier, which had just started appearing again (with a different story, etc.) in Skywald horror mags earlier in 1971...) So, it is kind of refreshing to see DC doing the ripping off for a change and getting the better character out of it.

I understand, HOS 92's "Swamp Thing" winds up having a different back story than Swamp Thing 1s Alec Holland, and then Moore brings him back a generation later.... HOM 195 has a killer Wrightson cover though, so that is a chunk of the $ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that is the rationale (weak though it may be) for HOM 195 being considered a Swamp Thing prototype. As far as Phantom Stranger #14, I got nothing.

Wrightson dated this art 1968, so likely one of his very first professional jobs. See below aardvark88 and Jayman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the blob Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Hmmm. seems like a prototype for Parliament of Trees ... But seriously, DC had stockpiles of Wrightson drawn stories to the extent they could be doling something out in late 1971 he did in 1968??? That is so much better than so much of the krap being done in 1968 by comic artists (and 1971, but it was really different for 1968) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
