Absolute Swamp Thing by Alan Moore Vol. 1

Product Information

This is as good as it gets for me, I did read this on the tail end of my Vertigo reading list which made me appreciate it even more.

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. Sí, el pequeño organismo que consume al hombre que pasó a ser la cosa del pantano, efectivamente existe. The issues collected in the first Absolute Edition are so wildly ambitious, outstripping even Frank Miller's work on Daredevil around the same time for envelope-pushing scripting and paneling, that it's wild that the work here surpasses it.Alan Moore's legendary run of Swamp Thing tales is collected in Absolute format at last, completely recolored for this new edition!

One of the greatest comic's runs of all time, and whilst I am not going to argue, I'm not quite there yet myself. But then along comes a knight in dirty, plant encrusted armor (and probably not smelling too good either I imagine). Created by comics legends Len Wein and Bernie Wrightson, the muck monster from the bayou would go on to become one of DC’s premier horror characters.The only real question I need to ask is, where does this sit amidst the rest of his collected works. I wonder why I didn't read this sooner and I found myself waiting to get an edition that is worthy and finally, this is it. At long last, DC Comics is proud to present the original early appearances of Swamp Thing in prestigious Absolute format.
