gets pretty weird but is so intresting it's hard to put down even if somethings get a little "out there". this comic series just did so much to push the genre forward you have to give everything moore did with it mad props. ( )

Coming up to the fiftieth issue of Swamp Thing, and also the time of Crisis On Infinite Earths.

This time, Swamp Thing needs some help, and he ends up in an alliance of a whole bunch of the groovy magical and supernatural characters that DC has floating around, including The Phantom Stranger and Deadman. Magic vs Magic to keep Heaven intact, that sort of thing.

There are trippy bits here, too, as eating bits of Swamp Thing can do odd things to your mind.

Alan Moore's tenure on the Swamp Thing title is considered to be truly groundbreaking. There's massive opportunity for over-the-top farce in Swamp Thing, but Moore takes the character seriously and spins complex tales of love, humanity, evil, and ambiguity. The series is also the birthplace of Hellblazer's John Constantine, and the contrast between Constantine's smart-mouthed, "victory by any means necessary" attitude and Swamp Thing's slow-talking, moral, and fiercely loyal personality is fantastic. This series isn't for the squeamish; we're talking radioactive zombies, dismemberment, creepy-crawlies, etc., but if you like your horror to be smart, well-written, and funny, you need to check this out.
