Alan Moore wants to leave it at some point not yet determined, because he wants to move on to other things (you should excuse the expression). At that point, DC will cancel the comic, because they feel that no one can follow up Moore's act. Actually, I'm sure that this is only partly true. SWAMP THING's sales are most likely fairly poor (though they've gotten better with Moore on the book), and without Moore, DC probably figures that the sales will drop back down again. --- jayembee (Jerry Boyajian, DEC, Acton-Nagog, MA) UUCP: {decvax|ihnp4|allegra|ucbvax|...} !decwrl!dec-rhea!dec-akov68!boyajian ARPA: boyajian%akov68.DEC@DECWRL.DEC.COM
