About this Collection

This volume collects the earliest issues of the 1980s Swamp Thing series, following Alec Holland's transformation into the Swamp Thing as he navigates a dark, ecological horror narrative. It features the foundational stories that redefined the character under the creative direction of writer Alan Moore, though this specific edition is published by Titan and represents the beginning of that acclaimed run.
