    Even if there wasn't a climactic battle pitting good versus evil, getting to know Russell within these pages was a genuine treat. I can't remember the last time I enjoyed a graphic novel as much as I enjoyed this one. Kirk Scroggs made me think of my childhood at multiple points throughout the book.The Secret Spiral of Swamp Kidis not just an excellent read. It's an entertaining and heartwarming experience. It will be an absolute crime if Scroggs doesn't win an Eisner. Read Full Review
