The swamp reveals a truth no one imagined-and Alan Moore rewrites the rules of horror in this new DC Compact Comics collected edition. From 1983 through 1987, a young British writer named Alan Moore revolutionized the American comic book. His groundbreaking tenure on DC Comics' Swamp Thing set new standards for graphic storytelling and touched off a revolution in the medium that is still expanding today. Building on the title's framework of gothic horror with a remarkably intuitive narrative style and an unprecedented depth of characterization, Moore's vision was realized through the hauntingly beautiful artwork of such collaborators as Stephen Bissette, John Totleben, Dan Day, and Rick Veitch. The result is one of comics' most enduring masterpieces. This compact volume features Moore's earliest issues in the classic run, starting with "The Anatomy Lesson." Swamp Thing's mythology is hauntingly reshaped with terrifying revelations that begin a journey of discovery and adventure, taking him across the stars and beyond.�Collects The Saga of the Swamp Thing #20-27.
