Steven wades into the murky waters of the bayous of Louisiana where a spaceship has brought some confused aliens into contact with DC’s mopey muck monster in a story that will shatter your heart into a million pieces. SWAMP THING no. 32 was written by Alan Moore and drawn by Shawn McManus.

COMICS ROT YOUR BRAIN! is a deep dive into ‘80s comics (plus a few notable exceptions). In this podcast, screenwriters Steven Bagatourian (AMERICAN GUN) and Christopher Derrick (STAR TREK: PICARD) discuss their favorite books, runs, and creators from the Bronze Age.

Without a single word. "The Final Chapter" first appeared in 1999's MANHUNTER: THE SPECIAL EDITION, collecting the Goodwin/Simonson run from DETECTIVE COMICS no. 437-443.
