Secret of the Swamp Thing #[nn]

Nov 2005 · DC · 9.99 USD; 13.50 CAD
“Dark Genesis”

In "Dark Genesis," writer Len Wein and artist Berni Wrightson deliver a haunting, visually striking chapter in the Swamp Thing saga, where the creature’s connection to humanity is tested through a mystical transformation. With Wrightson’s signature eerie artwork and coloring, the story explores the fragile boundary between man and monster—until a desperate act of sacrifice restores the balance, leaving lasting echoes in the swamp’s dark heart. The cover, also by Berni Wrightson, captures the moment’s grim intensity.
