Swamp Thing (per ora) rimane ancorato al terreno in balia dell’uragano dell’assurdo con il sorriso stampato in faccia. Sin embargo, lo más característico es el estilo onírico que aparece en diversos capítulos que recuerdan a otras obras de esa temática como Sandman de Neil Gaiman.

This one moved a bit slower for my taste and while it was cool for Swamp Thing to start getting more powers and used to his new state - there was a lot that was still left somewhat unsatisfying to me.

Created by comics legends Len Wein and Bernie Wrightson, the muck monster from the bayou would go on to become one of DC’s premier horror characters. They printed the series on gloss paper so the colors are super vibrant compared to the old newspaper pages. A place for fans of DC's comics, graphic novels, movies, and anything else related to one of the largest comic book publishers in the world and home of the World's Greatest Superheroes! The sleeve it slips into is really pretty and the spine alone gives me the chills with how cool it is. The art follows the psychedelic nature of the stories very well, and it is a bit better than the first volume overall.While there are horror elements in it its a highly philosophical journey with so many unexpected cameos (which is another reason you should read some other material of vertigo first) that it fullfilled all the expectations I had and then some. Btw podróż po zaświatach jest absolutnie jedną z najlepszych w historii popkultury, a ta niespodziewana kwasowa i zanurzona w niezliczonej ilości wizualnych metafor scena seksu po prostu wbiła mnie w fotel podczas czytania. Lo tratan como a un monstruo y, la verdad, es que lo es, pero eso no significa que conozca el mal mejor que los humanos pues suele ser del revés. After that first run it was back to obscurity, until the end of the 70s when DC wanted to revive the character, but they had to wait because of the infamous DC Implosion (short version, almost 20 titles got cancelled because of bad sales).

Author Alan Moore and illustrators Stephen Bissette, John Totleben, Rick Veitch, Shawn McManus, Ron Randall and Dan Day join together to rise from the swamps in slipcased hardcover edition, Absolute Swamp Thing by Alan Moore Vol. This collection mostly contains a drawn out whacky team up with an ‘end of the world’ narrative scheme running through it. That makes the first issue very jarring, just chatting about all these characters I know nothing about!

When Alan Moore took this book over from Len Wein, he had a completely different vision of what Swamp Thing was. The unsettling yet beautiful artwork mixed with the suspense and keep story offered in the pages of the tome are truly a sight to behold. There are a couple more appearances in this book mostly because of the tie in to Crisis on Infinite Earth, we see Batman, Cain, Abel, Doctor Fate, Zattana and a couple of Moore's favorites like Deadman, The Phantom Stranger and Etrigan.
