Swamp Thing and Abby

Just for fun, I decided to draw two of my favorite characters: Swamp Thing and Abby Arcane (Cable Holland).


Swamp Thing was one of the first comics I read. Almost instantaneously, I adored Alan Moore's writing and his wondrous characters. Moore's collaboration with John Totleben and Stephen Bissette entranced me with their beautifully, and sometimes nightmarish, style. 
Their other-worldly creations have mesmerized me since childhood. Abby was one of the first female characters I could empathize with, anxiously anticipating her next move as I turned the page. 
So, here is my own fantastical creation of Swamp Thing and Abby, based on all the late night readings that brought so many smiles to my face.

  3. Your new festive froggie masthead is very cool -- and the script letters are classy. Very Diana-ish. :)
