Roots of the Swamp Thing

In 2012, DC Comics released this single-issue prestige one-shot revisiting the origin of the Swamp Thing, returning to the foundational work of writer Len Wein and artist Bernie Wrightson. A direct prequel to their original 1970s run, it re-establishes the tragic, horror-soaked transformation of Alec Holland within the modern DC Universe. For fans, it serves as a reverent coda to the legendary team's most famous creation, bridging the gap between classic and contemporary Swamp Thing lore.
