Unfortunately Swamp Thing isn’t mentioned by any of the writers but an image is good enough for me.

Some of the summaries are quite entertaining.

Trina Robbins’ The California Girls Take the Neighborhood Kids to the Beach… features some fun characters!

Lela Dowling’s Weasel Patrol
this reminds me of the scene in Caddyshack, when the caddy’s storm the pool.

Paul Chadwick’s Concrete… at the beach.

Ted McKeever’s Eddy Current
Ark Magazine #30, contains a feature article on McKeever.

Ty Templeton can draw one hell of a…
