Cover To Cover

This is an issue I do not own but would buy based on cover alone.I have seen this before,and it is just nuts.Brian Bolland integrates the murky dark green of Swamp Thing's body over an American flag adorned with a swastika,two color dynamics that clash,but the image is striking.It's amazing that Hitler could warp the visual meaning of what was once known as a peaceful symbol in Indian culture into a avatar of hatred and fear.It's unusual to see the swastika used in such an upfront way in any art medium,even so many decades after WW2.Just a great cover.
