About this episode

Rob Veatch returns to discuss Swamp Thing #67 and the challenges faced by the titular character.

"Just what the world needs, eh? Another grotty dim-witted clod of a film to add to the cultural wasteland." Rob Veatch returns to discuss Swamp Thing #67 entitled "The Wisdom of Solomon" as surprising enemies are revealed and Swamp Thing suffers a crushing setback at the hands of Solomon Grundy, who has no use for the concept of sharing.
