Swamp Thing is a name that has become synonymous with the best in comics. Alan Moore's run on the muck monster redefined comics and directly led to the creation of DC's Vertigo Comics line. Today, Swamp Thing is one of the most beloved of DC's 'New 52'. And to think it was once a movie so cheesy it's even wince-worthy by '80s standards!

You've come a long way, baby! Here's look back at the trailer for Wes Craven's Swamp Thing movie from 1982.

In keeping with reports that the first month of the New 52 led to big sales boosts, DC has announced that Detective Comics #1 and Swamp Thing #1 are both getting third printings. Congrats to the creative teams behind both titles, and here's to continued success!
