Synopsis "Saga of the Swamp Thing Book Two"

Created out of the Swamp by a freak accident, Swamp Thing is an elemental creature who uses the forces of nature and wisdom of the plant kingdom to fight the polluted world's self-destruction. Alan Moore took the Swamp Thing to new heights in the 1980s with his unique narrative approach. His provocative and groundbreaking writing, combined with masterly artwork by some of the medium's top artists, made Swamp Thing one of the great comics of the late twentieth century.In this second collection, The Swamp Thing says goodbye to the illusion of his own humanity after learning that he is 100% plant, meets a crew of benevolent alien invaders inspired by the classic comic strip Pogo (also set in the swamp), and consummates his relationship with Abigail Arcane as only he could.

Alan Moore (November 18, 1953, Northampton) is perhaps the most acclaimed writer in the history of graphic media. In 1979, he began publishing his works in the music magazine Sounds, under the pseudonym Curt Vile. Moore, with a nonconformist spirit, decides to jump into the world of scripting and in 1980 creates Ro-Jaws Robo Tales and Abelard Snazz, in addition to contributing to the Marvel Comics UK series Dr. Who Weekly.

With this background, he creates works like WATCHMEN, V FOR VENDETTA, SWAMP THING, and MIRACLEMAN, which have earned him numerous awards. He is also the brain behind the America's Best Comics line, through which he has produced (along with many talented illustrators) THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN, PROMETHEA, TOM STRONG, TOMORROW STORIES, and TOP TEN. As one of the most important innovators in the medium since the early 1980s, Moore has influenced an entire generation of comic creators, and his work continues to inspire an ever-growing audience.
