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. This truly is one of the best comics ever made and this is the main reason why Swamp Thing is still a known name today.

Alan Moore's legendary run of Swamp Thing tales is collected in Absolute format at last, completely recolored for this new edition! Well my girlfriend got me this collection for my birthday last week, and it is a transcendent experience. The recoloring by Steve Olif is much debated, but i think it looks great, and the artwork by Bissette, Totleben and Veitch among the best i have ever seen, there are a couple fill in artists but they are all great.

This is just an all round great book, and a big part of the revolutionizing of the graphic novel medium.
