Episode 234 -Zaslav Compensation Rejection, Superman Early Tracking, Peacemaker & More!

On this episode, we discuss a Swamp Thing story that we’re surprised didn’t qualify for our recently wrapped We’re With the Banned miniseries on banned and challenged comics – Rite of Spring from Saga of the Swamp Thing #34, as well as its sequel, Windfall from Saga of the Swamp Thing #43, by Alan Moore and various artists, published by DC Comics!

First up, Abigail Cable finally professes her love for our sentient vegetable man. And in lieu of sexytimes, he offers her communion via a bite of one of the tubers growing on his body, sending her on a consciousness-altering trip that shows her the interconnectedness of all things.

Next, we meet Chester Williams, an affable hippie who finds one of Swamp Thing’s discarded tubers in the bayou. Part of the yam finds its way to Sandy, a woman dying of cancer. Another part of it ends up with Chester’s unpleasant acquaintance Milo, and … let’s just say things don’t work out very well for one of them.

Like, does this mean Swampy and Abby are going out? Does the yam as a kind of cosmic litmus paper? Do kids today even know what litmus paper is? And are these two stories good enough to embark on that long, strange trip known as … The Comics Canon?

In This Episode:
•  Curt’s first experience with Rite of Spring
•  A little heads-up would be nice, Swampy
•  Kevin recounts an acid trip
•  We know what the ellipsis means …
•  The 1982 Swamp Thing movie
•  Have we mentioned our recent appearance on Marvel by the Month?
•  X-Men 97
•  (We Could Be) Diving for Pearls from Swamp Thing #65

Join us in two weeks as we look ahead to the upcoming Superman movie by discussing (what else?) some stories about the super pets of the Silver Age!
