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.

Review of 'Saga of the Swamp Thing' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

I definitely enjoyed this one, and it was Alan Moore in good shape (certainly better shape than that mass of who knows what known as From Hell, which I tried to read and dropped). Anyhow, I was familiar with the character of Swamp Thing, but I had never really read it. So, this makes a pretty good entry point as Moore reimagines and gives us a new story. The gothic element is strong in this series, and it is one I enjoyed. It is something I don't see in many comics any more. Though this series came out in the 1980s, it still holds up pretty well now. And the art is actually pretty good. Worth a read.
