Wes Craven drags a hero out of the muck for Issue #183: Swamp Thing takes the cover and the lead feature. “The Lost World, Fantasticlassic Revisited” reaches back to 1925’s dinosaur landmark, “Things with Wings” surveys the winged monsters, Chevy Chase’s Modern Problems gets a look, and “Atomic Atrocities” finishes its mutant parade.

Swamp Thing’s FM cover moment gives Issue #183 comic-crossover pull — DC collectors claim it alongside monster kids — and the 1925 Lost World revisit keeps one foot in the silent era. A late-run issue with broad reach.
