### Origin

When Michael Maxwell and a friend's plane crashed into Mt. Kilimanjaro, the two took refuge in a cave where Mike drank the rainwater that had been filtered through the mountain's minerals.
Soon, Mike began to become stronger and more agile, using his strength to overcome a powerful gorilla who lived in the cave. The ape acknowledged Mike's strength and lead him to a room in the cave that contained a magic helmet that allowed him to control and communicate with animals and merge them together into super-animals. Mike then fought evil in wilds of Tanzania as the B'Wana Beast.

Wein later recounted how Wrightson became involved with the story: "Bernie Wrightson had just broken up with a girlfriend, and we were sitting in my car just talking about life – all the important things to do when you're 19 and 20 years old. [*Laughs*] And I said, 'You know, I just wrote a story that actually kind of feels like the way you feel now.' I told him about Swamp Thing, and he said, 'I gotta draw that.'"

In the fall of 1972 the Swamp Thing returned in his own series, set in the contemporary world and in the general DC continuity. Wrightson drew the first ten issues of the series.Abigail Arcane, a major supporting character in the Swamp Thing mythos was introduced in issue No. 3 (Feb.-March 1973).

Calling herself Miss Liberty, she heroically fought against European invaders, often alongside the frontiersman Tomahawk and his young compatriot, Dan Hunter.

At some point during her masked career, Miss Liberty was pulled from her own timeline by the futuristic villain known as the Lord of Time and brought to the year 3786. Along with four other time-displaced adventurers, these "Five Warriors from Forever" were manipulated into attacking the Eternity Brain – the renegade artificial intelligence that controlled the Lord of Time's Palace of Eternity. They attacked the Eternity Brain, but it defended itself by causing dinosaurs from the Mesozoic era to materialize before them. It also teleported evolved Lizard Men to the castle to handle the opponents one at a time. Before long the Five Warriors from Forever were captured and imprisoned inside of a dungeon. They were liberated thanks to the combined efforts of the Justice League of America and the [Justice Society of America. After which, each of the displaced adventurers were sent back to their proper time eras.

In 1776, Miss Liberty rode into the middle of a squad of Hessians who had attempted to steal the Liberty Bell. They were pulling it across the side of a steep hill on ropes when Miss Liberty dispersed the soldiers by hurling powder horns in their direction. The explosion destroyed the ropes that were holding the bell aloft, and it came crashing down on top of her, crushing her to death.

It is believed that Miss Liberty is an ancestor of the World War II heroine, Liberty Belle. In May of 1942, Libby experienced a series of intense dreams wherein she witnessed Miss Liberty's last heroic moments before being crushed by the Liberty Bell.

Slaughter Swamp

**Slaughter Swamp** is a fictional swamp in comic books published by the American company DC Comics. It first appeared in *All-American Comics* #61 (October 1944), but its first appearance in *Swamp Thing* comics was in *Swamp Thing* Vol. 2, #67 (December 1987). It was created by Alfred Bester and Paul Reinman.

## History

Located several miles outside of Gotham City in Somerset, the marshland region known as Slaughter Swamp is a place with a grisly history. In 1895, an unscrupulous millionaire named Cyrus Gold carried on an affair with a local prostitute named Rachel Rykel. According to Rykel, she was pregnant with Gold's child, and sought to extort money from him for her silence. Cyrus met with her for a secret negotiation at Slaughter Swamp, several miles outside of Gotham. When Gold refused to yield to blackmail, Rachel's pimp, Jem, bashed Cyrus across the back of the head with a shovel. They buried Gold in the swamp, content that no one would ever come looking for him. Over the span of 50 years, Gold's body interacted with the detritus and sour vegetation of the swamp. Through an as of yet unknown process, Cyrus Gold's corpse transformed into a rotting, vegetative undead monstrosity that the world would soon come to know as Solomon Grundy.

The swamp saw little activity for the next several decades, but in the Autumn of 1944, Gold's zombie rose from Slaughter Swamp, whereupon he went on a savage rampage resulting in the deaths of 11 people. Gold (now known as Solomon Grundy) has been destroyed many times over the last half a century, but invariably, he always rises anew from the depths of Slaughter Swamp.

In recent years, Slaughter Swamp has been incorporated as part of the Slaughter Swamp State Park, with guided tours taking place daily. One of these tours resulted in great tragedy as Solomon Grundy rose from the swamp attacking an innocent tour group. Tour guide Karin Rykel (a possible descendant of Grundy) attempted to protect the young children in her group, but lost her life when the swamp monster crushed her skull with a savage backhand.

## Notes

* In Pre-Crisis Earth-2 continuity, Cyrus Gold was murdered in the year 1894. In Post-Crisis continuity, his death took place in 1895.
* Although Slaughter Swamp is always associated with Gotham City, it is actually located several miles outside of the city.

## Trivia

* In *Solomon Grundy* #4, Slaughter Swamp's geographical coordinates are given as Latitude 42.37°N Longitude 71.03°W. The real world coordinates place it just outside Logan International Airport in Boston, Massachusetts. Gotham City is usually locatedin the state of New Jersey.
Source Wall

The **Source Wall** is a solid barrier surrounding the Multiverse, beyond which lies the Source, in comic books published by the American company DC Comics. It first appeared in *New Gods* #5 (November 1971), but its first appearance in *Swamp Thing* comics was in *Swamp Thing* Vol. 2, #62 (July 1987). It was created by Jack Kirby.

## History

On the wall are the Promethean Giants: frozen statues of dead gods, cosmic beings, and foolish entities that failed to breach the wall and became part of it. In the universe of New Earth / Prime Earth, the remote Promethean Galaxy is the closest point to the Source Wall. It was severely weakened by the invasion of the Dark Multiverse and the breaking of the Force Barrier.

## Notes

* In the early Fourth World stories by Jack Kirby and Gerry Conway, the Source Wall was portrayed as a metaphysical barrier without a physical form, with the Promethean Giants strewn throughout space nearby. Starting with *Marvel and DC Present* #1 (November 1982) by Chris Claremont and Walt Simonson, it was portrayed as a physical wall with the Giants embedded in it. Even though this story was outside mainstream continuity, it set the appearance of the Source Wall for future stories.

Casey's mother Lena is prone to drinking, having been run ragged by abuse and stress from Casey's father Dan. Consequently, she is not particularly aware of her son's needs, and allows him to wander the swamps, checking on the growth of the tuber he planted. Each time he visits the plant, it has grown further into a strange shape with humanoid features.

Casey's best friend is Irving, who often shares his mother's delicious sandwiches with his friend. They hang out in a rusted out car, wrapped around a tree near where the tuber grows larger. Casey confides that his father scares him, and that he'd like for he and his mother to be able to live somewhere else alone.

Lena shares similar dreams, thinking that as soon as there's enough money, she and Casey will move to Missouri, and never have to deal with her husband again. Meanwhile, Casey's plant has grown to a towering height. He calls it the Tree of Limbs, and has begun to think of its affect on him as fatherly.

One rainy night, Lena worries that they can't afford to leave yet. Not long after, a knock comes at the door, and they are crestfallen to see Dan Quigley standing there. He claims that he's changed, having found religion. Lena seems to fall for it, and it seems like he's come home for good. Though his father is behaving better, his new belief system bothers Casey, and there's something about him that the boy doesn't trust.

Dan Quigley's apparently devout belief paired with his naturally controlling nature become more intense as time goes on, and Casey catches him sneaking alcohol when Lena isn't looking. His father forbids him from going to the swamps to check on his plant friend, and drags him to church instead.

One day, Lena comes home early from grocery shopping, and discovers Dan drinking wine. She believed that he had given up drinking, but it is clear that he has not. Angry that he has been questioned, Dan undoes his belt, and prepares to beat her with it. Casey stands in his way and shouts that he knows his father hasn't changed, and that there is something evil within him.

Dan turns his attention to Casey, and the boy runs out the door toward the swamp. Dan gives chase, and is disturbed by the sight of the strange plant growth that Casey runs into. Casey travels through the Tree of Limbs, noting all of its useless humanoid organs on the way. Dan follows, but in the process, he falls into a pool of bubbling yellow liquid and drowns. Casey escapes, but he notices that his Tree of Limbs has become infested with a grey fungus, and will die soon.

Eventually, Casey and his mother move to Missouri, and the Tree of Limbs crumbles to dust.

Saint Columba

**Saint Columba** is a fictional antihero in comic books published by the American company DC Comics. He first appeared in *Swamp Thing* Vol. 2, #47 (April 1986), and was created by Alan Moore and Stan Woch.

## History

The being who would become known as Saint Columba lived in Ireland at some point between 100-200 AD. Born with a crippling deformity, the Irishman was eventually cast out of his clan. His people provided him with a final meal of linseed gravel and barley, then hung him. His body was then taken down and cast into a nearby bog as a sacrifice to Bel, god of the sun. The Irishman laid in the bog for many years, but eventually rose as the next plant elemental of Earth. When this being assumed the title of Erl-King, people from his native land began referring to him as Saint Columba.

As an Erl-King, Saint Columba became one of the venerated members of the Parliament of Trees and part of an aspect of the Parliament known as the Committee. Each member of the Parliament introduced a new concept to their ever-growing communal mind. Saint Columbia showed them the lonliness of alienation.

He was also instrumental in showing the Earth's latest elemental, Alec Holland, how to hone his abilities and communicate with the Green. He presided over a meeting to determine whether or not Alec Holland would take his rightful place amongst the Parliament, thereby enabling the troublesome Sprout to become the next plant elemental. The Swamp Thing interfered in this venture, and Saint Columba, along with three other Committee members were fused into a new elemental entity known as the Wild Thing. The Swamp Thing ultimately destroyed the Wild Thing, and Saint Columba's essence was cast into the void.

His essence took root on another world capable of sustaining plant life. During this exile, Saint Columba was one of several off-world elementals who had garnered the attention of the Dominators during their quest to subjugate the planet Earth. Since Saint Columba was off-planet at the time that the Parliament of Trees was destroyed by the Word, it is reasonable to assume that he may still be alive.

Spirit World

The **Spirit World** is the ephemeral realm of the afterlife. It bridges all realities, but is not intrinsically tied to any one specific reality. Whenever a sentient organism dies, their souls pass through the spirit world into the Afterlife. The afterlife may be different for all and is dependent upon the belief system of the individual. Its first appearance in *Swamp Thing* comics was in *Swamp Thing* Vol. 2, #46 (March 1986).

## History

The Spirit World is inhabited by displaced souls whom, for one reason or another, are restricted from passing on to their final reward. The spirit world is also occupied by various phantasms and spirit entities.

In the corporeal world, magic users, low-level psychics and mediums can communicate with those souls that reside within the spirit world, oftentimes, providing them with the means for escaping. One of the most renowned mediums is the mysterious Madame Xanadu.

The displaced spirit known as Deadman can freely traverse the spirit world, but usually prefers taking residence within the body of a living human being.

Some powerful mystics possess the ability to tear a soul free from a living form and casting it into the spirit world. These rituals, often violent in nature, are commonly used by dark magicians.

People from Native American culture have extremely strong ties to the spirit world and can often conduct rituals to communicate with those on the other side. This also includes animal spirits who are held in very high regard in Native American society.

## Notes

* In one alternate reality, people were able to access the spirit world by way of a narcotic known as Ghostdancing.

## "Fish Story"

"*Hmm.* Complete regeneration *in* fifty-one seconds*. That's pretty* good*. I* told *you you'd learn something if you stuck with me.*"
―John Constantine
## Synopsis

### "Fish Story"

After the boys Nicky and Howard don't come home overnight, their parents interrogate their friend Bill for information. Eventually, all of the parents decide to go out to Rosewood and find them.

Swamp Thing encounters the vampires in the sunken town of Rosewood, and when they discover that he has no blood, they begin to herd him toward the site of the "nativity", the old stadium, which is full of eggs. Swamp Thing watches in horror as the eggs hatch, and the newborn creatures devour each other until only one remains – a giant fish-like vampire which attacks and destroys his body.

Meanwhile, the parents discover Nicky and Howard at the water's edge. Nicky, now a vampire, lures his own mother to them, and then drains her of her blood. Soon after, his father is devoured by the fish-creature, along with Bill's father. The remaining parents grab Howard and drive away in horror.

Swamp thing allows his body to die once more, and then rebirths, this time ever quicker. He then stretches his consciousness out across The Green. He gathers his energies and becomes one with the land, adjusting the terrain so that the water within the lake begins flowing again – right into the river that birthed it. The vampires residing in the lake cannot survive running water, and they die as their flesh is torn off their skeletons. This is a rather significant leap from the powers we've seen him display previously. He is learning more and more to wield the power that he has available to him.

Later, Swamp Thing encounters John Constantine in the ruins of the now drained town of Rosewood. Astonishingly, the Swamp thing is able to perform a complete body regeneration in only fifty-one seconds, suggesting that he has already learned much about himself and his abilities due to his association with John Constantine. John expresses his disappointment that the outcome of their endeavor has caused word to spread supporting the existence of vampires. This plays right into the hands of those responsible; it helps create the "right sort of atmosphere" to allow their plan to come into fruition. After he offers this cryptic warning – which is consistent with the theory Emma shared with him shortly before she died – he asks that they meet again in Kennescook, Maine in two weeks. They then part ways.
