Alan Moore's Swamp Thing run is the best thing of his I've read. Better than Watchman and Vendetta. Probably my favorite series this side of Doom Patrol. Wide ranging, inventive, exceeding expectations. The fact that Moore can do this much with a plant-man is astonishing.

Beautiful. It talks about the comic being “the first postmodern comic” and it really is. Everything is stories.
Still loving this series. Alan Moore (and the various artists) did an amazing job of preserving the creepiness of the swamp thing but also exploring the weirdness of the universe that he inhabits. I still find the appearance of the super heroes to be very jarring, but it is clear that is intentional. The short "Pog" story featuring the characters from Walt Kelly's Pogo brings this to an extreme. Somehow the whole thing works.
I didn't love the vegetable sex bit. It was a bit too psychedelic for my tastes. It obviously broke new ground at the time, but feels a bit dated. I'm sure it made an impact on the regular readers.

As far as I'm concerned, the gold standard for comic art and simple storytelling. So fearlessly creative and heartfelt. Very clearly a direct influence for Neil Gaiman, the story in this about Arcane sending influencing ripples throughout America reminded me immediately of The Corinthian, and Cane and Abel are just chilling here in the dream realm as well.

Slower than the first volume but the ending is spectacular! Curious to see how some of the threads pay off.

Estou adorando essa série do monstro do pântano. Eu não conhecia nada do personagem antes, mas há alguns anos, 5 da saga para vender em um evento nerd e o nome do Alan Moore, decidi comprar e procurar os outros volumes depois e foi uma boa decisão.
A história é bem interessante e eu estou adorando o estilo de arte dos desenhistas e as cores meio psicodélicas ou sombrias usadas.
