Classic Swamp Thing stories written and drawn by legendary comics creator Rick Veitch return to print for the first time in years!

Rick Veitch originally joined DC’s seminal Swamp Thing series as an artist during writer Alan Moore’s game-changing run, bringing to life some of the most inventive horror and fantasy concepts ever seen in mainstream comics.

Following Moore’s departure, Veitch took overas both writer and artist, continuing the revered creative legacy of Swamp Thing, and adding elements of time travel and metaphysics to one of the most unique comics of its era.

The Swamp Thing by Rick Veitch Book One brings these stories back to print, including Swamp Thing #65-73; Swamp Thing Annual #3; Hellblazer #4-5;and material from Secret Origins #23and Infinity, Inc. #4.

With modern-day issues explored against a backdrop of horror, Swamp Thing s stories became commentaries on environmental, political and social issues, unflinching in their relevance. Includes 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. Author Alan Moore and illustrators Stephen Bissette, John Totleben, Rick Veitch, Shawn McManus, Ron Randall and Dan Day join together to rise from the swamps in slipcased hardcover edition, Absolute Swamp Thing by Alan Moore Vol. 3. This collects Saga of the Swamp Thing #51-64 and DC Comics Presents #85.

The classic revisionist superhero saga that predates Watchmen and The Dark Knight Returns and presented a shocking worldview that almost predicted today's political climate! Rick Veitch's ground-breaking series has been called the last word on superheroes. It is a world-spanning, continent-crushing, over-the-top adventure story that brings the United States and Russia to the brink of annihilation...from both nuclear warheads and crazed superheroes-run-amok! Completely remastered with new scans and updated color-all overseen by Veitch himself.

Continuing the hardcover collection of master comics writer Alan Moore's award-winning run on 'The Saga of the Swamp Thing', this sixth volume begins across the galaxy, where the Swamp Thing's consciousness has been hurled. Trying to find his way back to Earth, Swamp Thing stops over on Thanagar, home of Hawkman, before moving on to Rann, home of Adam Strange, finally encountering the Green Lantern in a world of sentient plants.
