4.0 out of 5 stars Another classic from Alan Moore, 15 Aug 2002
Alan Moore continues his revamping of the Swamp Thing story in the issues collected here. His girlfriend, Abigail, has been jailed in Gotham City. When Swamp Thing turns up to free her a titanic struggle ensues between the agent of the green and The Dark Knight.
Alan Moore shows he can equal Frank Miller in gritty Batman stories and the Swamp Thing himself becomes a great power in the DC universe. Several other characters from the DC universe have cameos. It is very well written and the exotic artwork matches its brilliance. The final story in the volume, sort of an epilogue, is a superbly dark issue detailing the events in the lives of two of the supporting characters in the series. An excellent read.
Once again, Alan Moore proves he is the best writer in comic books today. Along with the other volumes, this series ranks as one of the finest in DC's history. Buy this book and the volume following as it's just as good.

5.0 out of 5 stars Swamp Thing and the birth of modern American comics., 14 Jan 2003
By Simon Fraser "Draws comics" (NYC) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
It`s hard to see back more than 15 years to the time before Swamp Thing. Back before superheros grew up, went all philosophical and got buried under their own ludicrousness. Before Alan Moore came along the US comic was a sad tired thing. Moores`Swamp Thing was a revolutionary statement of intent, it changed everything. Not immediately, it took everyone else a while to catch up . In it`s scope , it`s depth and it`s inventiveness , Swamp Thing was hugely ambitious. It dealt with issues, big ideas, morality and frail human feelings. Very few people had even attempted to deal with this kind of thing in a monthly US superhero comic, most people would just have assumed that it was impossible.
Now I`m not saying it`s the perfect comic, it`s flawed, particularly at the end of the saga , but if you want to see where The Sandman and all the ensuing Vertigo stuff actually germinated from, then you need to read Swamp Thing, it`s the very root of it all and is still an extraordinary and wonderful comic.

I`m sad to see that only a relatively small number of the collected volumes are still available. I hope there are reprints planned.
