Swamp Thing: The Bronze Age Vol. 1 (Swamp Thing (1972-1976)) is $4.99 at Amazon US. This is the first thirteen issues of the original run of Swamp Thing from the '70's.
Some of the stories are hokey, but Bernie Wrightson's artwork is fantastic. And the follow-up artist Nestor Redondo was no slouch. DC had some amazong artists working for them in the seventies.
Quote:
Deep in the bayous of Louisiana, far from civilization’s grasp, a shadowed creature seen only in fleeting glimpses roils the black waters…a twisted, vegetative mockery of a man…a Swamp Thing!
Created by writer Len Wein and artist Bernie Wrightson, this shambling, muck-encrusted figure swiftly became one of DC’s most iconic characters of the Bronze Age of Comics, and his shocking stories have become classics in the gothic horror genre. Now, for the first time, all of these legendary early adventures are presented here in a comprehensive trade paperback edition.
Swamp Thing: The Bronze Age Vol. 1 collects the original short story “Swamp Thing” from The House of Secrets #92 and Swamp Thing #1-13, featuring all of Wein and Wrightson’s original run on the series and including art by Nestor Redondo, Michael Wm. Kaluta and Luis Dominguez.
