Popular Post Sauce Dog Posted July 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 30, 2021 (edited) I couldn't resist. This book is one of those keys that I feel are only now being really appreciated. Really think it's been unvalued, especially in higher grades. Also the price was just too good to pass up so pulled the trigger. I really feel that 9.6 is the sweet spot for this issue if you go by the census. Not as hard to get 9.8, but also not as common as 9.4 and lower (I also own an 8.5 I bought years ago) Sure HOS92 is a first Swamp Thing, but overall most seem to forget this is the first Swamp Thing we all grew up with and know - at least the one that has been in DC continuity all this time (and the movies). Lots of attention as of late towards #1 issues for lots of other characters even though they are not firsts (Iron Man, Sub-Mariner, Moon Knight for example) and since this one is a true first I can see it growing (A good comparison are fans of Green Lantern - who are fans of specific lanterns, so not everyone is trying to get the 1st Alan Scott but rather their characters 1st...likewise I can see people wising up and not hunting HOS92 since the character they love is from ST1). Also...I promised myself I would stop buying copies of House of Secrets 92. I have enough of those and need to curb that habit.

Brandon Shepherd Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Does anyone here know if the Swamp Thing issues after #81 were ever collecting in TPB? I re-read 9 TPBs worth, or Saga of the Swamp Thing #20-81, a.k.a. The Alan Moore and Rick Veitch runs. I want to know what happens next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to warn you that Rick Veitch never finished his intended story. In issue #88 Alec was supposed to meet Jesus and the DC editors told Veitch they wouldn’t publish it. As a result, he quit and the story was inadequately resolved by a new writer, Doug Wheeler. Nancy Collins took over from issues #110-138 but I hated the art and stories in those issues. Other boardies might disagree with me though Brandon Shepherd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jasonmorris1000000 Posted January 16, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 16, 2023 I’m beginning to give up all hope of ever getting these in 9.8. I had to send them in myself because no one else is doing it Sauce Dog, Browns81, Brandon Shepherd and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
