Absolute Swamp Thing by Alan Moore #1
In "Loose Ends," Alan Moore, Steve Bissette, and John Totleben launch a haunting, thought-provoking chapter of the Absolute Swamp Thing series, where the line between identity and memory begins to blur. Jason Woodrue is brought in to dissect the origins of the Swamp Thing, only to uncover a chilling truth: the creature’s sense of self may be built on a lie. With the cover by Stephen R. Bissette and John Totleben, this 2020 issue delivers a slow-burn psychological mystery rooted in the eerie beauty of the swamp and the fragility of what it means to be human.
