Swamp Thing #1
This first volume of Delcourt's 1998 Swamp Thing series collects the early issues of the storyline, reimagining the classic DC Comics character's origins and adventures in the Louisiana bayou. Written by various creators, this edition lays the foundation for the supernatural horror and ecological themes that define the series.
"La leçon d'anatomie" marks a pivotal moment in the Swamp Thing saga, with Alan Moore and Jean-Paul Jennequin crafting a chilling exploration of identity and transformation. Steve Bissette’s evocative art, inked by John Totleben, brings to life the eerie tension as Jason Woodrue probes Swamp Thing’s origins—only to confront a truth far more unsettling than science can explain. Tom Yeates’ cover captures the unsettling atmosphere with a haunting, stylized vision of the swamp’s hidden dread.
In "La leçon d'anatomie," the General Avery Carlton Sunderland hires the Floronic Man, Jason Woodrue, to dissect Swamp Thing and uncover the truth behind Alec Holland’s transformation—only to find that the creature believes itself to be Holland, not a monster. When Sunderland dismisses Woodrue, the scientist lets Swamp Thing reclaim his vengeance, setting a chilling confrontation in motion.
