Stories
- Widowsweed · 24 pages
Abby and Chester are concerned about the missing Swamp Thing but she won't believe that he's dead. They encounter Widowsweed, an alien sent on a mission from the larger invasion force to capture or kill Abby because she is pregnant with possible future Elementals. Widowsweed did not know of the pregnancy beforehand, and as a mother herself she refuses to harm Abby and leaves. At that moment Guy Gardner, sent to retrieve the Swamp Thing to help against the invasion, arrives and unthinkingly kills the departing Widowsweed. Learning that Swamp Thing is missing, Gardner leaves without apology.
