Moore leans heavily into the horror genre throughout and even drags you through hell in one issue, but the grandmaster is also concerned with exploring far weightier themes while he unravels twist after turn. He is also the mastermind behind the America's Best Comics line, through which he has created (along with many talented illustrators) The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Promethea, Tom Strong, Tomorrow Stories and Top 10. He has also written a novel, Voice of the Fire, and performs "workings" (one-off performance art/spoken word pieces) with The Moon and Serpent Grand Egyptian Theatre of Marvels, some of which have been released on CD.

Se è vero che Gaiman dice apertamente di essersi ispirato a quest’opera di Moore, è anche vero che quando conosci direttamente le due opere inevitabilmente tendi a sovrapporle, confrontarle. Mis partes favoritas sin duda la lucha contra Woodrue, el retorno de Arcane y ese escalofriante capitulo con Abigail, la Cosa viajando entre los mundos oníricos y las fronteras del infierno y el capitulo final con la unión sexual-metafísica de Alec y Abigail.Fra tutti gli incespichi di pubblicazione, e la moltitudine di versioni uscite negli anni, ho sempre atteso che qualcuno venisse a mettere in ordine la situazione perché, devo esser sincero, non capivo davvero COSA comprare.

I’ve spent the past 3 days pouring over these pages and have gone back and read numerous issues just to gawk at how accomplished Moore was even before books like Watchmen and Killing Joke. My brother and I rapaciously watched the movies and TV series as kids, and we collected all of the figures from the short-lived animated series. Apart from a two-parter that opens this set with a minor, tragic villain whose irradiated poison sets Swamp Thing back to zero, 14 of the 16 issues here form an interlinked epic known as "American Gothic," the thrust of which might be said to be elevating Swamp Thing from a horror-comic new icon right past the level of superhero and instead to the realm of god. I tym razem jego dzieło zafundowało mi cudownym rollercoaster pełen fascynującej grozy, gęstej tajemniczej atmosfery oraz czasem wręcz iście kwasowych podróży.

Sí, el pequeño organismo que consume al hombre que pasó a ser la cosa del pantano, efectivamente existe. 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). Another important thing that they did on their classic run was to abandon the Comics Code Authority, something that happened only once before with Stan Lee's Spider-Man.
