Noted comics journalist and long time supporter of my Swamp Thing run, Bill Baker, has done a solid interview with me regarding the end of my personal saga with the big plant man.

Check it out if you’re so inclined. Here’s the link.

A page from Richard Corben’s amazingly realized issue of my Swamp Thing run.

Bill Baker, the noted comics journalist who has written a book based on his three hour, definitive interview with grand master storyteller Alan Moore (Alan Moore Spells It Out: On Comics, Creativity, Magic and much, much more) has mentioned Swamp Thing #23 in his blog. Here’s what he had to say…

“Joshua Dysart continues to crack open his psyche, pour it into his word processor and through some alchemical process, aided and ably abetted by regular artist Enrique Breccia, to explore the nature of the beast, the nature of Man, Nature and Man versus Nature, and — particularly in this arc — the nature of Story and what its role is in, and to, today’s world. Sound deep and maybe a bit confusing? Well, it is, a bit, but that’s also the nature of things. And of the journey that Alan Moore began twenty-plus years ago, and Dysart, Breccia and co. are now charting. At worst, this is startling and utterly original work, while at its best it is deeply disturbing, daring, darkly humorous and utterly devastating. Not for everyone, true, but well worth investigating for the obvious amount of time and quality of craftsmanship evident upon each page.”

Here’s Bill’s most recent interview.
