Product Description

Product Description
The legendary 'American Gothic' story arc was seen by many as the pinnacle of Alan Moore's industry-changing work on the Swamp Thing title in the late 1980's. Now, for the first time, this epic title has been collected in its entirety. The trials of the Swamp Thing build to a terifying crescendo in this spellbinding collection of Alan Moore's exploration of urban myth and horror. The method behind mystic John Constantine's seemingly random testing is finally revealed. Featuring the twisted killer known as Invunche, the South American death cult of the Brujeria and the return of the original darkness to this world. Only the Swamp Thing can stop its coming. The trouble is, neither he nor Constantine know exactly how! Classic Horror from the creator of Watchmen.

5.0 out of 5 stars a masterpiece of comic horror, 14 May 2004
By Ruth Ludlam "princess_zelda" (Bracknell, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
The legendary Swamp Thing series, under the auspices of the equally legendary Alan Moore; this is nirvana for the comic fan and great fun for the uninitiated, too. The brilliance of the writing means that you can pick it up from just about anywhere (which is rather useful because Swamp Thing has a long history), but for those who have been following the previous issues, the plot elements from the past year all seem to finally reach fulfillment in the climactic last issues. Every comics fan is guaranteed to love this: characters from the rest of the DC world walk in and out, and that mystic miscreant, John Constantine from Hellblazer, has also made himself nicely at home in the Swamp Thing universe. Swamp Thing himself develops a great deal - he learns how to cope with being a gigantic plant with sentience, and manages not to surrender his humanity in the process. And meanwhile he gets to crunch up a whole load of warlocks who are up to no good. They are the Brujeria and they want to unleash an ancient evil - well, who wouldn't? But he also faces down a serial killer, a whole host of ghosts in a big scary mansion, and grows something they call "yam fruit" on his back, which is clearly the new "magic mushroom". That's what you get for not taking regular baths. And how does it all end? I hear you ask. Well, you will probably not be surprised to hear that the expression, "ultimate showdown between good and evil" comes into it somewhere...

This book contains issues 43-50 (including the double anniversary special) and is the fourth volume of the Alan Moore issues. The regular artists were Stephen Bissette and John Totleben, but increasingly the artwork became the responsibility of Stan Woch and Ron Randall, whose influence began to change the visual style. Also of interest for the comics buff is that there is an extended crossover with the Crisis on Infinite Earths series: a very ambitious idea, but pulled off very well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Swamp Thing continues his journey of self-discovery, 19 May 2002
This review is from: Swamp Thing Vol 04: A Murder of Crows (Paperback)
Swamp Thing's voyage takes him from the most visceral horrors of a haunted house to breaking his earthly roots and traversing the afterlife.

A MURDER OF CROWS continues the evolution of Swamp Thing from a mire-dwelling man-monster to a powerful elemental being with a potential to exceed the bonds of the Earth itself, with sophisticated tales of horror including: a passage through heaven and hell (with guest appearances by Deadman, the Phantom Stranger, the Spectre, and the Demon); a horror- spun crossover with the epic 1980s DC maxiseries CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS; and Swamp Thing's first audience with his brethren - the Parliament of Trees.

These are the stories that changed American comics forever.
