Before Watchmen, Alan Moore made his debut in the U.S. comic book industry with the revitalization of the horror comic book The Swamp Thing . His deconstruction of the classic monster stretched the creative boundaries of the medium and became one of the most spectacular series in comic book history. With modern-day issues explored against a backdrop of horror, The Swamp Thing stories became commentaries on environmental, political and social issues, unflinching in their relevance. Saga of the Swamp Thing Book One collects issues #20-27 of this seminal series including the never-before-reprinted Saga of The Swamp Thing #20, where Moore takes over as writer and concludes the previous storyline. Book One begins with the story "The Anatomy Lesson," a haunting origin story that reshapes Swamp Thing mythology with terrifying revelations that begin a journey of discovery and adventure that will take him across the stars and beyond.

BAJO TIERRA, SE OYEN VOCES AMORTIGUADAS Y ATRONADORAS. BAJO EL MAR, SE VEN UNAS LUCES TERRIBLES. Y LAS ONDAS SE EXPANDEN POR TODO ESTADOS UNIDOS... ...POR LAS MENTES MAS OSCURAS. De 1983 a 1987, un joven autor británico llamado Alan Moore revolucionó el cómic estadounidense. Su rompedora etapa en La Cosa del Pantano de DC Comics sentó nuevas bases para la narrativa gráfica y desató una revolución en el medio que llega hasta nuestros días. Moore añadió al terror gótico característico de la serie un estilo narrativo asombrosamente intuitivo y una caracterización profunda y sin precedentes que plasmó el dibujo hermoso y cautivador de colaboradores como Stephen Bissette, John Totleben, Shawn McManus o Rick Veitch. El resultado fue una de las obras maestras más perdurables del mundo del cómic. Ahora, por primera vez, toda la etapa de Moore se recopila en una edición en tapa dura. Este primer volumen recoge los números del 20 al 34 de The Saga of the Swamp Thing y también Swamp Thing Annual núm. 2.

What Alan Moore, Stephen Bissette, and John Totleben accomplished during their time on the comic book series Swamp Thing shouldn't be underestimated in the history of comics and, specifically, the history of horror comics. The modern comics landscape has been changed by the Vertigo line of books—an imprint that traces its roots back to this version of Swamp Thing. By taking a horror character fully entrenched in a superhero world (as silly as that might seem), this creative team put a new face on horror comics and on horror in general. Swamp Thing: Love and Death is the second collection of the team's work on the series, presented here in full color. Don't let the mediocre Swamp Thing movies fool you, this book is filled with sophisticated suspense and terror. Collects issues #28–34 and Annual #2.

After meeting the Swamp Thing, the Hellblazer sends the man-monster on a voyage of discovery that takes him from the darkest corners of America to the rrots of his own long-hidden heritage. Collects issues #35–#42.

This fourth volume in the saga of the Swamp Thing finds the man-monster interacting with Deadman, the Phantom Stranger, the Spectre, and the Demon as he continues on his journey of self-discovery. Traveling through the horrors of a haunted house, the improbabilities of the afterlife, the depths of hell and the heights of heaven, the Swamp Thing continues his evolution from a simple monster into a powerful elemental being with a potential to exceed the bonds of the Earth itself. Collects issues #43–#50.
