Description
Before the groundbreaking graphic novel Watchmen, Alan Moore made his debut in the U.S. comic book industry with the revitalization of the horror comic book Swamp Thing. His deconstruction of the classic monster stretched the creative boundaries of the medium and became one of the most spectacular series in comic book history. With modern-day issues explored against a backdrop of horror, Swamp Thing's stories became commentaries on environmental, political and social issues, unflinching in their relevance. Includes the story The Anatomy Lesson, a haunting origin story that reshapes Swamp Thing mythology with terrifying revelations that begin a journey of discovery and adventure that will take him across the stars and beyond. 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. 2. This collects Saga of the Swamp Thing 35-49 with brand-new coloring. Read more

This IS the Place
Format: Hardcover
(In fairness, I received my two Moore ST volumes today, and review, for the most part, book design). In Volume II, only the box's cover art seemed less than fortunate - reddish/pink hues distract compared with volume I's gorgeous back cover). However - Could the early to mid-80s have been a finer time? I had Stern's Spiderman Hobgoblin arc - and, at DC, as Watchmen waited in the wings, and as "Whatever Happened to the Man from Tomorrow?" and "For the Man Who Has Everything" - better Superman stories are hard to find - cooled, still prior to Morrison's American debut with his fourth-wall breaking po-mo antics in "Animal Man," we always had Alan Moore's venerable, sui generis (why not Latin?) reinvention of "Swamp Thing," in those halcyon days prior to the lame, grim and gritty days when the industry believed that Moore and Gibbons's magnum opus succeeded due, in some part, to its sexual content or its often 'off the page' violence (indeed of a more graphic nature). The great James 'Starman / JSA, Golden Age' Robinson has pointed out, the industry took the wrong message from Watchmen... instead of seeing Watchmen's complexity, its depth, as making it a game-changer in comics history - one, indeed, proceeded by Swamp Thing, Moore's elegiac, even romantic book that didn't lack for mindblowing SF - the industry opted for a dark that can feel adolescent rather than mature. Moore's save is considerable. As the title neared cancelation, it proved a perfect vehicle for Moore and his great art team... Steve Bissette, John Totleben, an initially uncredited Rick Veitch, who will helm the series later, letterer John Costanza, who makes individual voices breathe, and colorist Tatjana Wood, who got more out of pulp paper than anyone this side of Richmond Lewis in Batman: Year One. Of course, the absence of Ms. Wood in these II volumes (pardon, having received them both today after oft-reading them) I am excited and review - the book design here) may, indeed, engender controversy - a concern I had, until I received the books, and showed my son. I concede, for this book design, the move to colorist Steve 'Miracleman' Oliff - simply works. Above all, the book, as presented here, is as raw, as vital, living, and organic as it ever was. In fact, these two absolute editions particularly impress with their higher-end production values, better than those on other fine absolute editions. Is the interior cover thread? Whatever the coating, it mimics moss with its tackiness. These production values represent less of a reinterpretation and more of a refining. The additions of Moore's promotional material (Volume 1) "This is the place" - a downright literary flexing of verbal muscle - is better than nice. The full script in volume II - look at Moore's novelistic description... truly he had the right art team in place... make both volumes shine., so now we have The Anatomy Lesson and American Gothic - once more. I am eager to revisit Moore's fine, romantic coda in Volume III.

Must read for any comic book fan
Format: Hardcover
This is by far the best omnibus/absolute I have in my collection. The cool cover, amazing artwork & still relevant stories are just a few things that make this so good. Packaging was done very well, no damages. Highly recommend!

Excellent edition
Format: Hardcover
Really cool edition. Packaging wasn’t the best but it is a big book. Came like 2 weeks before the estimated time. Would recommend.

Absolutely worth the price
Format: Hardcover
I've bought these stories multiple times. Single issues, trades, hardcover trades...etc. NOTHING compares to these oversized beauties. I've seen details in the artwork I've never seen before. Bucket list books for the shelf. I hope they continue to reprint these in this format.

A must have upgrade if you can afford it
Format: Hardcover
Not much to add that hasn't been said about this masterpiece. So I'll stick with reviewing this absolute edition. The Layout is perfect! Love the case cover and especially the back picture of Swamp Thing holding the Earth in his arms. The felt like mossy cover of the actual book is perfect. Some people complain about the new coloring, but I think it looks incredible.

I am loving my re-reading of one of my favorite storylines from the 80s.
Format: Hardcover
I am doing it 1 or 2 issues at a time to draw it out. I don't remember the coloring on the originals, but I am pretty sure that most were on newsprint and nowhere near as smooth as the coloring is in this book. It has a unique moss-like texture on the book cover front and back! This was a great purchase!

Volume 2 matches the quality of Volume 1 perfectly!
Format: Hardcover
A perfect match all-around with Volume 1! The slip cover box is beautiful on the back. They used the same felt material on the book itself as they did on volume 1 as well. This is such a beautiful collection. Haven’t gotten to flip through it and look at the recolored pages, but I suspect that it’s the same great quality. Very happy with this collection so far!
