Swamp Thing #6

Sep 1973 · DC · 0.20 USD
“A Clockwork Horror”

In "A Clockwork Horror," Swamp Thing stumbles into a quiet town where a reclusive German clockmaker has crafted eerily lifelike robots to live among the townsfolk. As the mysterious Conclave arrives, drawn by the secrets of the automata, Swamp Thing must navigate a world where the line between man and machine begins to blur. Written by Len Wein and illustrated with haunting detail by Bernie Wrightson—whose work defines the cover and interior—this 1973 classic blends gothic unease with early ecological dread, all rendered in Wrightson’s signature inks and colors.
