Caroline Small reads Moore's Swamp Thing for the 1st time
Ahh, you can't go home again - but you can vicariously enjoy the thrill of Caroline Small's discovery of Swamp Thing via the good offices of her buddy Chris (who's leading her down the comics primrose path - it's no longer "I'm just here to see Craig Yoe to keep Chris company..."). Read their dialogue at Muck-Encrusted Mockery of a Roundtable: Liberty, Fecundity, Perversity

Montgomery on new Swamp Thing collection
My old comic-collecting buddy Robert chimes in on DC's new Swamp Thing collection, which has Alan Moore's first issue reprinted for the first time: DC is finally reprinting Alan Moore's Swamp Thing run in hardcover. So, of course, having waited for this for some time, I bought the first volume. When it arrived, first thing I noticed is that DC printed it on the same paper used in the trade paperbacks. Was I annoyed. I expected a high-quality product and basically got a trade with a hard cover. What the hell is DC thinking?
After I noticed the paper issue, I checked reviews on Amazon and people had the same reaction. They also complained about the cover being sticky - one person claimed they printed it on the wrong type of paper. The cover on my copy is a little sticky but don't know if I'd noticed it w/o having read the reviews.

Bits from the papers
Today's Express had a review of Persepolis which wasn't online and one of the Swamp Thing TV series dvd - Stephen M Deusnef's "Swamp Thing: Up From the Muck," [Washington Post] Express (January 24 2008): E13 - which is.
The City Paper had a Big-Daddy-Roth-channeling cover by Pekar-collaborating Ed Piskor (who has a self-published book out now too) and another review of Persepolis - "Menace, Anyone? Politics are a threat in Persepolis, but the danger's even more monstrous in Cloverfield," by Tricia Olszewski, Washington City Paper January 25, 2008: 42.
