About this Collection

This volume collects issues from the 2002 Swamp Thing series, continuing the saga of the elemental protector as he confronts threats both mystical and earthly. The story arc delves into the character's connection to the Green and his struggle to maintain his humanity amidst the forces of nature and corruption.

In "Chapter 1: Home Free," Alan Moore and John Totleben deliver a haunting, pivotal moment in the Swamp Thing saga as Gotham surrenders Abby to the swamp’s guardian, marking the end of a tense standoff. With the city’s surrender, Swamp Thing faces a sudden, brutal assault by Wicker and his men—leaving his fate uncertain in a moment that redefines his role in this fractured world. The issue’s stark, atmospheric art by Totleben and Wood’s evocative colors deepen the emotional weight of a story that lingers long after the final page.
