Remember the 'Swamp Thing'?

[Gogi]

He was a comic book hero who looked lika a pile of moss. I was watching
'Volcano!' one day and remembered this when the hero saved his daughter, a child and the obligatory cute little dog from being immolated. He arose from the wreckage of this building holding them all and I said to myself "It's the Swamp Thing!"

1. Dick Durock......

...starred in the movie version in the early 80's. Swamp Thing was originally a DC comics character. Cheesy, but I vaguely remember it having some positive environmental messages.

And the movie had Adrienne Barbeau in it too. Yowza!

2. I remember now

Swamp Thing originally was a scientist studying swamps who accidently turned himself into peat moss and was trying to reverse the process. The
biggest drawback with this hero concept is all the action has to take place in or near a swamp.

4. Cheesy until Alan Moore took over the writing

then it became AWESOME!

The movie was weird, but fun, and done at the height of Moore's run on Swamp Thing.

5. Right on......

Anything Alan Moore has done is excellent. I had forgotten his run on Swamp Thing. The movie was high camp. It didn't take itself too seriously. In that vein, it was good.

8. Alan Moore is a god!

Swamp Thing, Who Watches the Watchers, and on and on and on...

6. I remember the movie...

1981 or 82....I was 14...my friend and I went to see it, and were seriously impressed with Adrienne Barbeau and her "talents"...especially during the bathing scene...although there were those pesky branches upstaging her.
