Saved me some Green
An amazing series and an even more amazing seller, the copy I purchased was not in new condition, the item that came was in plastic and aside from some smushing on the ends of the cover I have 0 reason to believe this copy was ever read. Kudos to the seller!! The Green thanks you!

Nancy A. Collins is a powerful writer. Swamp Thing equal to Alan Moore's Swamp Thing run.
A wonderful graphic novel. One of the best I've ever read; fantastic art.

Liberalistical swamp menace or swamp fiction!?
I first encountered Swamp Thing from the pre-Freddy Krueger Wes Craven film that constantly played on HBO, showcasing Adrienne's Barbeau's and a Steve Urkelesque Jude...hey. Never being a huge DC fan, it was not until years later that I read the original Bronze Age and Alan Moore runs, which were well ahead of comics writing of the time. Of course, most people stop at the Moore runs, forgetting that the book was still published in not so great runs. DC looked for horror writers with chops and chose Nancy A. Collins, author of the rather non liberal Sonja Blue vampire series to take the helm. Having grown up in the South, she had a particular view of the region, rather than an Englishman like Alan Moore, that she infused into the series, especially of Louisiana.Anytime any writer brings in "real world" issues into a fictional world, they will always be accused of the buzzword of the week. Having grown up in the early 90's, I can recall the "American Patriot" David Duke's embarrassing run for Governor of Louisiana, the last gasp of fraudulent televangelists until the "Christmas Wars" of the 21st century, the various "Christian and wholesome" racist groups that crawled out from the rocks. Apparently, since Collins did not have Swamp Thing have a "sit down" session with the KKK or David Duke analogue, the work is "propaganda" worthy of RT...I mean...Pra..I mean the Wash...I mean MSM. Nearly ran out of rhetoric for a moment!You'll get some real life horror in this run, in a fictional world, of course, but it works. Connie Sunderland and "Bubbles" Sunderland were created by Nancy A. Collins, and used in the sadly short lived TV series of last year. And as Collins is primarily a horror writer, quite a few of the stories don't have happy endings. But that's life, not "propaganda".

A Great Swamp Thing Adventure!
Collins’ Swamp Thing May follow up Alan Moore’s run with the character, but it’s definitely more accessible in its tone and easy to read. The romance, horror, monsters, character cameos and even funny moments are all here.This is definitely still not a kids story.There’s a couple of pages in the book that I’m slightly partial too, as it’s the closest I’ve gotten to seeing a Swamp Thing and Neil Gaiman’s Sandman crossover. And as always, JOHN CONSTANTINE!The artwork was great. The book is beautiful. I love Swamp Thing, and if you do too, this is a wonderful oversized book to enjoy for awhile.

Beautifully designed omnibus
One of the nicest DC omni’s! Not my favorite Swampy run, I’d still say Millar, Soule, Snyder & of course Moore’s runs are by far superior, but still a fun read.

A good read
I wanted to read more swamp thing after I read Alan Moore's run on the character, this ones worth the read.

Great art and story
Great gothic horror. As for the one objection above...sort of goes with what’s happening now in the world... And this book was NEVER meant for young children. It is brilliant in art and story and a must by foe mature Swamp Thing fans.
