After nearly forty years, Rick Veitch's run on Swamp Thing will finally be complete with DC Comics' four issue Swamp Thing 1989. Veitch comes on the podcast to explain why DC originally pulled the issues, how they've tried -- and failed -- to bring them back over the years, and why this time finally worked. Plus, Veitch discusses how the story changed over the years, and how he actually has more ideas for Swamp Thing now that he's gotten back into it.
