THE THING THAT COULDN'T DIE!

We're all familiar with plant-based foods by now, but how about a plant-based monster? Well, of course we have! There's THE HEAP, MAN-THING, SWAMP THING and a few others that have had their moment in the sun getting their muddy, mucky bodies dried out in the meantime.

The comic shown here today is an adaptation of Theodore Sturgeon's short story, "It!", which was first published in the pulp magazine, UNKNOWN (August 1940). It is still highly-regarded among other stories about swamp monsters and muckmen.
