Meanwhile, out at Universal Studios, Fla., casting is under way on another comics-inspired project--”Swamp Thing,” the TV series.

For syndication from Universal (no air date has been announced), it’s produced by Boris Malden, Joseph Stefano (“Outer Limits”) and Adam Rifkin.

Dick Durock, who played the title character in the two “Swamp Thing” movies, will reprise his role as the leafy hero.
