I'm housebound while I recover from quadruple bypass surgery, so it wasn't until today that I was able to get a ride to the comic book store and get my mitts on Swamp Thing #88 (aka Swamp Thing 1989 #1). I've been looking forward to this for a long time. Like 37 years. Like I was 31 when this book was suPOSSed to have come out. And I'd barely started reading when I saw...
Yes indeed, that is my boy Kamandi.
Life is good sometimes.
P.S. I know it's a shitty picture, but you should get your own book, anyway--we want DC to know that we appreciate it when they're not being pussies.
P.S. As for the comic...good enough to bring me back for issue #2 (#89), but some shoddy Biblical stuff put me off. The main one being casting Mary Magdalene as a prostitute. For fuck's sake, read your Bible, man! MM was not only not a prostitute, she was probably Christ's #1 disciples. This misogyny shit has got to stop!
