04/1986 🍃 Swamp Thing #47 — “The Parliament of Trees”
Artist: Stan Woch
👀 WTH is on his head, and where the hell is the trenchcoat? Well… we’re in the Chilean rainforest in April, and John has swapped his usual London uniform for a look that screams accidental occult tourist dressed in mustard yellow safari gear.
🔸—Cargo shirt and trousers: full monochrome mustard yellow. Perfect for blending in… absolutely nowhere. The shirt’s just an extended Silk Cut storage system at this point — who even needs a survival kit? John certainly doesn’t.
🟤—Terrain boots: the only sensible choice; regular shoes wouldn’t survive ten minutes in ancient swamp mud.
🟥—Red headband: full hippie energy. Looks like he’s been smoking with shamans for three days straight, convinced he’s reached enlightenment (or just severely sleep-deprived and mildly dehydrated). Also: he’s been there like 20 minutes.
Here, Constantine looks almost too clean—like a pre-phase version of the trench coat becoming a cursed artifact soaked in nicotine, bad decisions, and dried blood.
“Good thing I’m on the case, with a team of experts… Frank, Ben, Anne-Marie… same team we had in Newcastle…uh… not that that’s a particularly good example.”
