OKAY…This is the weirdest stuff I have ever read. Not just in the pages of Swamp Thing, but ever…anywhere…in any medium. Weird.

Let’s start with a look at the cover. The cover, which was painted by John Totleben, is excellent until you take note of the black-crow-racist-cartoon-looking character to the right of the young Alec Holland:

I mean the cover looks like a great work of art with a Looney Toons sticker stuck to it. You know when those dumb people get comic-like voice-bubble stickers to stick to their photographs so that they can make a stupid photograph even more stupid? Well, that is the effect. Exactly, it sucks big.

Now, the interior of the comic is like the worst acid trip you ever imagined combined with such select goodnesses as: heretofore unexplored back-story, nudity, and an ambitious piece of Alphabet Cereal.

Trust me, you must be reading this book if you desire to see the avant-garde edge of modern comics. Then again, if you think things termed ‘avant-garde’ sound lame, pretentious, and obnoxious, then you can now be my friend.
