Swamp Thing - Bažináč 1 – Moore Alan (2016)

Between 1983 and 1987, a young British screenwriter named Alan Moore modernized American comics. His groundbreaking take on Swamp Thing set new standards for graphic storytelling and sparked a small revolution in the comic medium. He built upon the framework of gothic horror established by his predecessors, enhancing it with an intuitive narrative style and unprecedented character depth. Moore's vision was brought to life with disturbingly beautiful artwork by collaborators such as Stephen Bissette, John Totleben, Dan Day, and Rick Veitch. The result is a masterpiece that withstands the test of time. In this first of six volumes of Moore's Swamp Thing Saga, issues 20-28 are collected. The volume also includes a foreword by renowned horror author Ramsey Campbell and an introduction by co-creator and editor of the original series Len Wein. We are in a place. This place breathes.

It lives. It has a soul. It has a face. At night, you can almost see it.
