1. An intriguing question

One I'd be interested in knowing the answer to. I think they're both rippoffs of "The Heap." Unless I've completely forgotten my comic book history.

2. Wow! I guess they're both rip offs of The Heap.

4. Ah

I wonder if the Heap rips anyone off? We could be sitting on a treasure trove of conspiracy!

5. They all ripped off my boyhood hero!

The Fat Fury!

6. It's an old concept: "Green Man"

9. Or DC's Solomon Grundy...

I think he was in Green Lantern first. He was a resurrected mass of organic matter that retained some memories of a corpse, except he looked like a huge pale man.

3. I remember Adrianne Barbeau MOSTLY ! Man, O, Man...

7. I think between those two, Swamp Thing came first..

Len Wein and Berni Wrightson created Swamp Thing about 1968-69 or so. Man Thing was a Marvel creation during their big monster boom of the early 1970's. Threads like this really make me miss Kephra. :(

8. There's boobies in the movie

And some violence, but I remember the boobies, on the brunette, I had the hots for her
