This is a rare and highly sought-after comic book from the Bronze Age of US Comics. The first issue of Swamp Thing, published by DC Comics in October-November 1972, features a stunning cover by Bernie Wrightson and contains beautiful white pages. The comic is written by Len Wein and illustrated by Bernie Wrightson, with contributions from other artists and writers like Matt Cable and Ferrett.


The comic includes an impressive lineup of characters like Bruno, Swamp Thing, The Conclave, Linda Holland, and Anton Arcane (Cameo, Unnamed, Hand Only). The genre of the comic is Horror & Sci-Fi or Suspense, and it is a must-have for any collector of comics or US Comics tradition. This item is listed in the Collectibles, Comic Books & Memorabilia, Comics, and Comics & Graphic Novels categories.


My dad owned a comic book store in the 70s and was a big Bernie Wrightson fan who met Bernie and had him autograph this copy. CGC graders chose to give the grade a 7.0 when it it close to mint, a 9.6 if not for the signature. Someone might resubmit it through CBCS who does a better job verifying signatures but the autograph is real and true I guarantee it so I’m hoping this copy gets to a real Wrightson fan.
