Swamp Thing and Shaman

 

Looks like a somewhat metaphysical issue.  That's ok, those those can make way for some lavishly illustrated tales.  I just wonder who it is that these two are trying to contact.

Either Grant Miller or Alan Moore. To see if there really is life-after-death of reader interest.

Ouch! Did someone have sour grapes for breakfast?

On a comparatively lighter note: this Sunday is the start of Shark Week on Discovery Channel. So, how about something commemorative like...Prince Namor vs. King Shark?

There's something that's always bothered me about Shaman: Why the heck does he wear Spandex? He's a First Nations guy, living in Canada. A bit of leather would make a lot more sense on several levels. This cover is, in fact, a good illustration of that: Canadians know how to dress up for snowy weather, and that does not involve Spandex. I mean, really -- the money has not been minted that could get me outside in Spandex in the snow!

Perhaps a commentary on that some time can pit him against Killer Frost or Captain Cold.

Maybe it's the warmth of his friendship with Alec Holland (and their mutual love and respect for Mother Nature).

Spandex? I thought everyone at Marvel wore costumes made of unstable molecules. They really adjust well to the change of seasons.

D'oh! I completely forgot about that plot trope Good memory you got there, Bob!

@the other Bob: that being said, maybe Ross could someday depict Shaman having his outfit tested, for extreme temperature durability, by standing in between the Miser Brothers (Heat & Snow).
