Biography
Early life and career
Curt Swan, whose Swedish grandmother had shortened the original family name of Swanson, was the youngest of five children. Father John Swan worked for the railroads; mother Leotine Hanson had worked in a local hospital. As a boy, Swan's given name — Douglas — was shortened to "Doug," and, disliking the phonetic similarity to "Dog," Swan thereafter reversed the order of his given names and went by "Curtis Douglas," rather than "Douglas Curtis."
Having enlisted in Minnesota's National Guard's 135th Regiment, 34th Division in 1940, Swan was sent to Europe when the "federalized" division was shipped initially to Northern Ireland and Scotland. While his comrades in the 34th eventually went into combat in North Africa and Italy, Swan spent most of World War II working as an artist for the G.I. magazine Stars and Stripes. While at Stars and Stripes, Swan met writer France Herron, who eventually directed him to DC Comics.

Chorus: She's my email female We fit perfectly We practice safe sex Electronically She my email female She knows what words to say So I plug in with her every night From two time zones away Interlude: We're always so relaxed around each other And I never get surprise visits from her mother I could be sober or drunk Or I could smell just like a skunk And the message on the screen still reads, "Howya doin', Lover!" Bridge: She's my CyberHoney, she's the one I chose Cause I know with her, anything goes I never need to change the sheets Hell I don't even have to brush my teeth She's my email female She knows what words to say So I plug in with her every night
