Swamp Thing finds himself on the island of Kala Pago, where a priestess and a mercenary enlist him in their revolution against the tyrannical regime there, until she uses her magic to raise an army of zombies from the dead. Swamp Thing destroys the magic talisman that animates her zombies, leading to the deaths of the mercenary and the High Priestess, at the guns of the regime.
Laganna is seemingly shot by the junta troops, but it takes place off-panel, with only the gunshot noise as evidence.
That OTHER swamp guy[]
Meanwhile, over at the marvelous competition, the Man-Thing gets his mojo back just in time to find himself swept up in a book burning escapade at a local high school over in Man-Thing #17.
