| * The Swamp Thing is kidnapped by the Un-Men, who bring him all the way to the Castle Arcane in Transylvania to meet the evil Anton Arcane, who promises to restore him to his human body. The occult process does change Swamp Thing back into Dr. Alec Holland, while Anton Arcane takes the form of the Swamp Thing, but after Holland realizes Arcane intends to use his new form to kill everyone in the village below, he undoes the transformation. Arcane falls off a precipice, followed by his loyal Un-Men, apparently to his death. Shortly after, the Patchwork Man (the former Gregori Arcane, brother of Anton Arcane and father of Abigail Arcane) escapes from his prison within Castle Arcane and battles the Swamp Thing, each thinking the other intends to harm Abigail Arcane. In saving her, the Patchwork Man falls into a cavern, while Swamp Thing hands Abigail over to Matt Cable, who has tracked him down there. Matt agrees to let Abby go with him back to America, and Swamp Thing trails along beneath their plane.
