    Solomon Grundy

    In the late 19th century, a wealthy merchant named Cyrus Gold is murdered and his body disposed of in Slaughter Swamp, near Gotham City. Fifty years later, the corpse is reanimated as a huge shambling figure (composed partly of the swamp matter that has accumulated around the body over the decades) with almost no memory of its past life. Gold murders two escaped criminals who are hiding out in the marsh and steals their clothes. He shows up in a hobo camp and, when asked about his name, one of the few things he can recall is that he was "born on a Monday". One of the men at the camp mentions the nursery rhyme character Solomon Grundy (who was born on a Monday), and Gold adopts the moniker.

    Solomon Grundy, born on a Monday,
    Christened on a stark and stormy Tuesday,
    Married on a gray and grisly Wednesday,
    Took ill on a mild and mellow Thursday,
    Grew worse on a bright and breezy Friday,
    Died on a gay and glorious Saturday,
    Buried on a baking, blistering Sunday.
    That was the end of Solomon Grundy.

    In the Southeast Pacific, lies the sunken city of R'Leyh. There lies C'thulhu waits to return to our world with the other Great Old Ones. A hideous creature of enormous size and alien power, it waits for it's time to return patiently. For it has all the time in the world while it waits for the stars.

                  I'm a little late to the party, but, damn man, that is one of the best Solomon Grundy's I've ever seen. It just seems like it has more depth that the usual Hulk/Grundy. Very nice!
