Actually...the FF 70 cover deal didn't happen at the show...the deal happened unexpectedly at my home on the Monday before the show as the brothers were driving cross country to the NYC show and asked if they could stop by!

i got "3" Herb Trimpe Hulk covers in the deal for the FF 70 cover,..including the COMPLETE hulk 121 cover and complete  story, with the first appearance of  "THE GLOB" (precursor to first swamp thing in HOS #92 by 1.5 years!)

Hulk 121 is a great great book with 2 great FULL splashes....and 2 great semi-splashes....But the deal was a lot lot bigger than just those.

I collect Trimpe hulk covers so i was ok trading away the FF 70 cover to get some sweet sweet collection pieces!

I thought the precursor to Swamp Thing was The Heap from Hillman’s old line (Wikipedia indicates it as Air Fighters from 1942).

IT! by Theodore Sturgeon.

That was a comic book? And here I thought it was a short story; perhaps the inspiration for the Heap given its age.

Correct short story. Every single Muck Monster is a rip from it.

As a kid this was one of my first possible   Clues for a Swampy Origin. Always loved the cover.
