** Alex wasn't originally part of ''Swamp Thing'' continuity. His tale, titled simply "Swamp Thing" (and reprinted here in its entirety), originally appeared in ''House of Secrets'' #92 as a one-shot story and was the inspiration for the ongoing ''Swamp Thing'' title, by the same Lein Wein/Bernie Wrightson creative team, but with a reworked protagonist and origin story set in the present day. Apart from a single out of context quotation at the end of ''Swamp Thing'' Vol. 1 Issue 13, that story was never referenced in the ongoing continuity until Moore made it part of his ongoing RetCon of the series.
