Comic Book Preview – Swamp Thing 1989 #1

April 26, 2026 by Amie Cranswick

DC Comics takes a trip back to 1989 this week as the long-lost Swamp Thing #88 from writer Rick Veitch and artist Michael Zulli finally sees the light of day in the form of Swamp Thing 1989 #1, kicking off a four-issue DC Black Label series with the brand new Swamp Thing 1989 #2-4 bringing Veitch’s never-before published conclusion to his Swamp Thing storyline in what would have served as issues #89-91 of the classic original series. Get yourself a sneak peek at Swamp Thing 1989 #1 with the official preview below…

Over three decades since the controversy and cancellation, Rick Veitch’s legendary lost issues are completed! After a renowned two year run on the series, Veitch’s grand finale to Swamp Thing was cut short, and never to see print! Whispers and leaks hinted at the epic untold saga for years. Now, for the first time, that final story is told! As Swamp Thing is cast back through time, he will come to meet a carpenter who will change the trajectory of his life, and the DC Universe forever. The origin of Etrigan , and Swamp Thing’s journey to the beginning of time starts here!

Swamp Thing 1989 #1 goes on sale on April 29th, priced $4.99.
