Created by writer Len Wein and artist Bernie Wrightson, DC's Swamp Thing is one of the most famous of swamp monsters. Legend has it that Wein came up with the idea while riding a subway in Queens. He didn't have a name for it, so he kept referring to it as "that swamp thing I'm working on", and the name stuck. The character first appeared in HOUSE OF SECRETS #92 (July, 1972) and quickly earned his own title in the fall of 1972.
