A Short Stop At The Transylvania Brain Surgery 4 (1975)
This Swamp Thing appearance is brought to you by Transylvania Brain Surgery. It is a UK fanzine that I haven’t seen too many of. This a bizarre appearance indeed.
The Breakdown
There are some bizarre strips inside. I mean real “farr-out” stuff
Swampy and Man-Thing helping to invite fans to write in/participate.
“Now, where’s the soap?” as you can see there are plenty of examples to help you get started on writing your own caption.
The Raised Sword of Hell!
The back cover is extremely odd. The small one is a Frankenstein monster-like man child.

So funny to find this on the web. I was the artist for the cover and the devil riders strip. Brought back some great memories!

Yes, I wrote and drew the Stomp but the editors cut it up and re assembled it.
I didn’t mind, I was only 14 and was happy to see stuff printed.

I knew them from Comic conventions and may have contributed to previous issues.
I used to contribute to a lot of fanzines back then.
Here’s a link to another one, 1975 or so.
