THE SECRET SPIRAL OF SWAMP KID TP written by KIRK SCROGGS art and cover by KIRK SCROGGS Warning! Unless you have express permission from Russell Weinwright to access his notebook, do not read any further. Seriously, we mean it. Okay, if you are still with us, here is what we can share: Russell is a middle schooler; he excessively doodles; he has two best friends, Charlotte and Preston; he is not so great at sports; and he is pond scum. Nicknamed “Swamp Kid” by his classmates, Russell has algae for hair, a tree trunk for a right arm, and a carrot for a finger. Also, Russell’s favorite meal is sunlight. Also, a frog lives in his arm. In this notebook, Russell details in both hilarious text and color illustrations (complete with ketchup stains!) what it’s like to be different, to discover his true talents, to avoid the intense stare of Mr. Finneca (his suspicious science teacher who may also be a mad scientist), and to find humor in the everyday weird. This is THE SECRET SPIRAL OF SWAMP KID by writer and illustrator Kirk Scroggs, and you’ll never look at middle school the same way again. ON SALE 09.25.19 $9.99 US | 5.5” x 8” | 160 PAGES FC | ISBN: 978-1-4012-9068-9 This title will be squarebound, not spiral bound.
Aside from the fact this sounds fun as heck we know Swamp Thing will show up to mentor Russell and I’m curious how will this work out.

Burbank, CA (Jan 16, 2020) — It’s a bird! It’s a plane! No, it’s DC Super Heroes taking over the L.A. Zoo!
On Saturday, February 8, 2020, DC and the Los Angeles Zoo are encouraging families to turn off the TV, leave the house, and spend the day together enjoying superheroes, graphic novels, and up-close animal demonstrations at “DC Presents: Reading with Zoo-per Heroes at the L.A. Zoo.” The all-day event will feature interactive presentations with live animals, signings, author/artist meet and greets, as well as free giveaways, photo ops with a costumed Batman, and much more.
The festivities will take place within the L.A. Zoo at Treetops Terrace next to the Tom Mankiewicz Conservation Carousel. Activities are free to attend with the purchase of Zoo admission and free for Zoo members. The full day of programming from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. will kick off with an honorary naming ceremony of one of the Zoo’s green and black poison dart frogs. The frog will be named “Russell,” after the main character in Kirk Scroggs’s critically acclaimed The Secret Spiral of Swamp Kid. The graphic novel follows middle schooler Russell Weinwright as he navigates the highs and lows of middle school as a half-swamp creature/half-human and befriends a tree frog that makes its home in his arm.
Following the 10:30 a.m. naming ceremony, Zoo attendees can participate in various all-day activities and enjoy fun presentations at the top of every hour. Programming highlights include:

Getting Spooky Through A Kid's Eyes - Kirk Scroggs Talks The Secret Spiral Of Swamp Kid
Getting Spooky Through A Kid’s Eyes – Kirk Scroggs Talks The Secret Spiral Of Swamp Kid
The Secret Spiral of Swamp Kid, one of the early titles from DC Kids follows the adventures of Russell Weinwright, a young man with a strange affliction. He’s kind of a plant. The original graphic novel appears more like an ongoing journal from Russell instead of a traditional comic. I had a chance to speak with writer / artist Kirk Scroggs about the project, its design, and all things swampy.

DC Zoom takes middle grade readers inside THE SECRET SPIRAL OF SWAMP KID
DC Entertainment has announced, via THR, the latest entry in the DC Zoom imprint of young reader graphic novels. The Secret Spiral of Swamp Kid is written and illustrated by Kirk Scroggs. Scroggs’s previous credits include the Snoop Troop series of books, as well as the Tales of a Sixth Grade Muppet licensed series of books.
The Secret Spiral of Swamp Kid follows Russell Weinwright, a typical middle-schooler save for the fact that he’s also a plant. The book shares the insides of Russell’s notebook, giving readers insight into his thoughts and life. The character’s surname is a particularly nice touch as an homage to Swamp Thing’s late co-creator, writer Len Wein.
In the THR piece, Scroggs describes the genesis of the book:

Ladies and Gentlemen looks like DC is happy with their Ink and Zoom lines as the latter just added a brand new title to its roster - The Secret Spiral of Swamp Kid. Kirk Scroggs, of Snoop Troop, Tales of a Sixth-Grade Muppett and Willey and Grampa’s Creature Features fame, will give DC horror icon Swamp Thing a Diary of a Whimpy Kid-style tale. The book will be written in the format of a diary of Russel Weinwright, a middle-schooler with a connection to the Green. Scroggs has also teased that we will see Swamp Thing himself assume a mentor role to this young man.
