Jasonmorris1000000 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 I grew up in the 70's and 80's when swamp monsters made a revival in popularity (somewhat) with Swamp Thing and Man-Thing. I never knew about their golden age origins until Alan Moore paid homage to the Heap in the mid-80's. Sure I knew about Solomon Grundy, but he wasn't made of mud, goop, and/or plants. Here's what I've gotten so far. I'm hoping people will post more so I can compile a want list. goldust40 and Raze 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sauce Dog Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Swampies from any era are my jam and I hope to collect a slew of covers that feature them, you already posted this one but this is my copy I had graded (my favourite Heap issue, also have a low-grade reader copy) I recently bought this book, SWAMP MONSTERS, that looked to focus on the golden age of swamp creatures, however I was left disappointed. I thought it was going to offer a nice history, bios, or other research into the ever changing lore of swamp creatures in comics but it had nothing of the sort (only a short introduction about how much the author likes swamp creatures, and the rest of the book just reprints a bunch of golden age comics).

I bought that book too. It was disappointing that it didn’t have any comics history, but the reprints and cover are great in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
