Issue 116- "Sleepyhead: Awakening, Part 2"

Written by: HPLL, Pencil Artwork : Rick Veitch

He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When others are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us.
2 Corinthians 1:4

Well, something is screwy with this image, I can't type underneath it. Anyway, this is the proposed cover to Swamp Thing #88, which was supposed to have Swamp Thing travel back in time to meet Jesus Christ. DC backed out at the last moment though, and the issue has never seen print. My question to you, my friends, is this: IF this material was done reverently considering the subject matter, do you think it should have seen print? By the way, I actually have a copy of the story in rough pencils if anyone would like to see it. And in personal response to my question: it WAS done reverently and with honor. But whadda you guys and girls think? Should it ever see the light of day, or is it too silly or plain offensive to try to picture Jesus with comic characters?
