The 2015 Winter Comic Connect Auction Catalog features Swamp Thing!
Wrightson’s classic splash page is up for auction and one lucky Swamp Thing fan (or just a wealthy individual with a taste for comics) will eventually get their hands on it. I can’t wait to see how much this beautiful piece of art goes for.
Swamp Thing was indeed imagined by Len Wein, on a subway, while riding through Queens. It’s funny to think that the muck-encrusted mockery of a man -born from the swamp and earth, bio-restorative chemicals and fire- was conceived in a subway car within one of the most bustling, populated cities in the world. You’d think he would have been thought up by some sort of Thoreau-like writer who had spent years, living in some southern bayou.
Many great books are up for auction, along with the Swampy page. The catalog also lists some of the more well known, classic, rare books that will be up for auction this winter.
