The Swamp Thing #10 p.19 - Ideas & Avatars! SplashAs a fan of Woodrue going back to when I was reading Swamp Thing early during the Alan Moore run, this, as with any Woodrue focused page, is wonderful. Whether in his guise as the Floronic Man or as Dr. Woodrue, I've always found his story appearances very unsettling. Whenever he appears within a Swamp Thing story, I always feel this strong sense of foreboding, like something "wrong" is about to happen. That occurs once more right here on this page,
