Publisher Comments:

Writer Alan Moore, the creative force behind America's Best Comics, first made a name for himself in the United States with these landmark stories that revolutionized comics and created a literary niche for adult audiences. In these dark tales, humanity is as repellent as any creature of the night.

Synopsis:

These are the stories that established SWAMP THING as the ultimate horror comic, in which humanity is every bit as repellant as any creature of the night.

Alan Moore's tenure on the Swamp Thing title is considered to be truly groundbreaking. There's massive opportunity for over-the-top farce in Swamp Thing, but Moore takes the character seriously and spins complex tales of love, humanity, evil, and ambiguity. The series is also the birthplace of Hellblazer's John Constantine, and the contrast between Constantine's smart-mouthed, "victory by any means necessary" attitude and Swamp Thing's slow-talking, moral, and fiercely loyal personality is fantastic. This series isn't for the squeamish; we're talking radioactive zombies, dismemberment, creepy-crawlies, etc., but if you like your horror to be smart, well-written, and funny, you need to check this out.
