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. Review: This IS the Place - (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. Review: Must read for any comic book fan - 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! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #73,155 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,208 in Superhero Comics & Graphic Novels #4,969 in Horror Literature & Fiction | | Customer Reviews | 4.9 out of 5 stars 402 Reviews | ## Images ![Absolute Swamp Thing by Alan Moore Vol. 2 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81GdqhQWd4L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This IS the Place *by C***G on April 13, 2021* (In fairness, I received my two Moore ST volumes today, and review, for the most part, book design).
