I've been so excited to finally get this out in the world!

NYCC '25: DC Comics to complete Rick Veitch's scuttled run with SWAMP THING 1989

In 1988, Rick Veitch left Swamp Thing after DC decided not to publish a controversial story, but now he will finish with Swamp Thing 1989.

My Spectre Omnibus comp copies have arrived! So happy with the collection! Of course the first thing to do is charge up that cover and get into a dark room for the full, glow in the dark experience!

At long last, a new Spectre Omnibus reprinting our complete 62 issue run. 2 omnibuses really, because that's too many issues for one. Here's my b&w art for the first cover

Mom found the comic book version of “Hamlet” that my Da bought me in about 1986, and it actually really holds up. 🥹

The cover of the Classics Illustrated graphic novel version of “Hamlet” by Shakespeare, adapted by Steven Grant and Tom Mandrake.
