Before the ground-breaking graphic novel 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, Swamp Thing's stories became commentaries on environmental, political and social issues, unflinching in their relevance. Includes the story "The Anatomy Lesson", a haunting origin story that reshapes Swamp Thingmythology with terrifying revelations that begin a journey of discovery and adventure that will take him across the stars and beyond. Author Alan Moore and illustrators Stephen Bissette, John Totleben, Rick Veitch, Shawn McManus, Ron Randall and Dan Day joint togehter to rise from the swamps in slipcased hardcover edition, Absolute Swamp Thing By Alan Moore Vol. 1. Collects Saga Of The Swamp Thing #20-34 and Swamp Thing Annual#2 with brand new coloring. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

I had avoided the Swamp Thing for many years, mainly because the premise didn't sound all that exciting to me. What a mistake to make! Moore gives it his all, mixing horror, the supernatural, relationship drama, environmental themes, eroticism and occasional forrays into plain old superhero comics.
This is a landmark series in DC's history, the birth of a style that would flourish under the Vertigo banner. Also, to all Sandman fans, it's impossible to overstate how much this comic influenced Neil Gaiman, especially in the earlier Sandman volumes.
Overall, an excellent start. I can't wait to see where Moore takes this! ( )
