Created out of the Swamp by a freak accident, Swamp Thing is an
elemental creature who uses the forces of nature and wisdom of the
plant kingdom to fight the polluted world s self-destruction. Alan
Moore took the Swamp Thing to new heights in the 1980s with his
unique narrative approach. His provocative and groundbreaking
writing, combined with masterly artwork by some of the medium s top
artists, made Swamp Thing one of the great comics of the late
twentieth century. Book One begins with the story 'The Anatomy
Lesson,' a haunting origin story that reshapes Swamp Thing
mythology with terrifying revelations that begin a journey of
discovery and adventure that will take him across the stars and
beyond. In this second collection, The Swamp Thing says goodbye to
the illusion of his own humanity after learning that he is 100%
plant, meets a crew of benevolent alien invaders inspired by the
classic comic strip Pogo (also set in the swamp), and consummates
his relationship with Abigail Arcane as only he could. The third
volume is brimming with visceral horrors including underwater
vampires, a werewolf with an unusual curse, the hideous madman
called Nukeface. Best of all, this volume features the comics debut
of John Constantine, Hellblazer, who launches Swamp Thing on a
voyage of self-discovery that will take him from the darkest
corners of America to the roots of his own long-hidden heritage.
Volume four brings Swamp Thing s quest for self-discovery with the
mystic John Constantine to its shattering conclusion. A harbinger
of doom has been released with the sole charge of waking an evil
beyond comprehension, and Swamp Thing, John Constantine, Deadman,
The Phantom Stranger, Etrigan the Demon, The Spectre and other
masters of the occult must unite against the dark forces that
threaten to eradicate Heaven s light. The fifth volume begins as
Swamp Thing returns from his sojourn to hell, only to learn that
his girlfriend Abby is being persecuted for their 'unnatural
relations.' When she skips town for Gotham City, he follows and
runs afoul of Batman, Lex Luthor, and the Gotham City Police
Department. The sixth and final volume collects Moore s entire run,
reprinting issues #57-64 and features the classic stories 'Loving
the Alien' and All Flesh is Grass.'
