Saga of the Swamp Thing – Book One by Alan Moore, with artwork by Stephen Bissette and John Totleben.

This is an older DC Comics / Vertigo trade paperback edition, Fourth Printing, collecting Saga of the Swamp Thing #21–27. It includes the landmark story “The Anatomy Lesson”, which completely redefined the Swamp Thing character and marked the beginning of Alan Moore’s hugely influential run on the series.

Moore’s work on Swamp Thing is widely regarded as one of the defining comic-book runs of the 1980s, blending horror, fantasy, psychological storytelling and superhero mythology. This volume is particularly important because it contains the stories that established the darker, more literary direction the series became famous for.
