1. Is this the issue where we find out that Bruce was forced into the sex trade by Aunt Harriet during his High School years?

   “Say.. Auntie!”

2. Ah, “Sophisticated Suspense”– Swamp Thing’s old tagline when it dropped the Code during the Alan Moore run.

3. …which pissed Alan Moore off to no end, when he found out about said labelling.

4. I believe his response was something along the lines of “Might as well put on the cover ‘full of tits and innards.'”

5. Anonymous: Wasn’t it the ‘Suggested for mature readers’ label that pissed him off? Sophisticated Suspense was only ever used on Swamp Thing but the mature readers thing was DC’s first attempt at age classification across a bunch of titles.

6. You’re wrong. I found it quite amusing!

7. Ah yes, of course! Swamp Thing! Fantastic!

8. I have to admit that my nerd-fu failed me on this one.

9. Bat-man for President in 2012!

10. Bat-man for President!
