DC Comics Releases Comic Where Jesus Christ Is the Central Point of History.
After 37 years locked in the vault, DC Comics finally released the “banned” Swamp Thing #88, making the crucifixion of Jesus an official part of DC continuity.
The issue was written by Rick Veitch in 1989 and titled “Morning of the Magician.” It was scheduled to be the conclusion of a time-travel arc that sent Swamp Thing backwards through history. The final stop was first century Jerusalem, where he witnesses the Garden of Gethsemane and the events of the Gospel.
DC executives removed the issue before it hit shelves. They objected to depicting Jesus Christ in a mainstream comic. Veitch resigned in protest and refused to work for DC again.
The story sat unpublished for 37 years. Now it has officially been released, placing the crucifixion of Jesus Christ at the center of DC continuity.
