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.
