![]() ![]() Alec had already risen as Swamp Thing and could conceivably have made it back in time to save her, but instead, he's busy rescuing her dog from the swamp, reasoning that she'd never forgive him otherwise. Rather, she's killed after the fact, offscreen, by the same group of criminals trying to steal it. Like Alec, Linda is a biologist working on the bio-restorative formula, but she doesn't die in the explosion. One of the biggest differences is that Olsen's former wife, Linda, is alive at the end of the story - though she's terrified of the unrecognizable monster that has just killed her second husband - while Holland's wife (also named Linda) doesn't make it through the first issue. ![]() The disparities between the tales of Alex Olsen and Alec Holland, who was introduced in " Swamp Thing #1" after the original short story was reworked by Wein and Wrightson, are so notable that a later issue felt the need to canonically clarify that Olsen was actually a different character who also happened to become Swamp Thing. ![]()
