Found on PanelBoundComics. I've been shopping for the Alan Moore box set from 2021 (2nd image) and came across the first image. I've only found it on one other website, Golden Apple comics. No sign of it anywhere else. Opinions? Do you think it's safe to buy?

I went with this figure over the McFarlane figure, I liked that it had more of the Alan Moore era look. I’m tempted to take him out of the box, but I’m nervous doing it since it’s been sealed for so long. What should I do?

Spotted at Bearacleave Woods, Devon

I was out and about this weekend and found a whack of Volume 4 books at a book reseller.

I keep seeing the covers for these posted on social media and they look great but I have not read any of Volume 4.

They were cheap enough so I took a chance.

And I also picked up that Giant Sized for the heck of it while I was at it.

Thoughts on Volume 4? I’m hoping to get into these issues in the coming weeks👍

Have a large-ish collection of Swamp Thing comics in my possession, about 140 or so comics from the 80’s and early 90’s. I was wondering if there’s anything particularly rare or valuable I should keep an eye out for? I have so much physical media already that I have to sell some of it, but I wanted to see if there’s certain comics that are worth saving (or selling at a fair price).

I’ll attach some pictures here but I don’t want to spam-post screenshots, this is just a small number of comics from the collection.

Not very exciting pictures unfortunately but maybe one day I’ll get them all out and take cover pics, bonus pic of the vertigo cards

Got few signatures, a blank cover and also some original art from him

He was the best! Super down to earth and very nice to talk to

It was such a pleasure meeting him

Got to meet Vince for the second time and finally got 89 directly from him, which he then signed and sketched. He was a excited about this release as we were haha.

Marked as a spoiler, just in case. I read this issue for the first time this week and, after the battle of Gotham, I was beyond moved. The whole arc is incredible but this issue is pure perfection. The layers of facing oneself, grasping reality, escapism….just incredible. I recognize The Anatomy Lesson was a major change and is celebrated appropriately. But I honestly can’t believe this issue isn’t talked about more often. My wife doesn’t really read comics because she still thinks they’re kids stories. She knows nothing about Swamp Thing. I gave her some context and read this issue to her. She was in tears almost the whole time and now wants to read the whole series.

Love Moore, but it's been really cool to watch this character grow without him.
