Of course, as you mentioned, they owe it all to Theodore Sturgeon and his short story "It!". What an amazing work that was.<BR/><BR/>Someone--was it Steve Bissette?--commented once in an interview (I'm not sure who said this, so don't hold me to it) that the team doing Swamp Thing before Bissette & Totleben took over the art were basically doing stories about a huge guy riding around in the bed of a pickup truck.<BR/><BR/>Damned if that wasn't true. If you look at those issues of Swampy just preceding the Bissette/Totleben/Moore issues, old Swampy does seem to spend a lot of time riding around in the back of a pickup truck, occasionally climbing out to fight other monsters.James Robert Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17281049641681225389noreply@blogger.com
