También es que estoy valorando la primera parte de una larga etapa, cuando la termine juzgare todo al completo. Otra obra leída del gran maestro Alan Moore, una que entraría perfectamente en el top de Moore junto con Watchmen, From Hell, La broma asesina, etc. When Alan Moore took this book over from Len Wein, he had a completely different vision of what Swamp Thing was. The giant event at the end doesn't feel very satisfying to me, because I don't understand the rules of the combat at all, so it feels arbitrary when the heroes eventually win.

Una obra muy importante también en el mundo de hoy para concienciar sobre el medio ambiente y como las plantas nos dan tanto y nosotros no hacemos más que robarles. Btw podróż po zaświatach jest absolutnie jedną z najlepszych w historii popkultury, a ta niespodziewana kwasowa i zanurzona w niezliczonej ilości wizualnych metafor scena seksu po prostu wbiła mnie w fotel podczas czytania. There are few artists who could bring Moore's sublime vision to life, but Bissett and Totleben are more than up to the challenge, to the point where, should they no longer appear on the book, I may have to invent a time machine, go back 40 years to this books creation and get a riot going. He uses some lesser known supernatural characters from DCs massive roster like The Spectre, The Phantom Stranger and Jack Kirby's Etrigan the Demon. 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.Ha sido a raíz de recibir este tomo como regalo por Reyes que me despertó la curiosidad -sobre todo esa portada tan bonita que tiene esta edición-. I wonder why I didn't read this sooner and I found myself waiting to get an edition that is worthy and finally, this is it.

Swamp Thing was the beginning for Alan Moore writing for DC Comics in 1983 and its an important beginning where writing stories are important as the art itself. With a beautiful slipcover, great binding and oversized artwork, this is a must for the graphic novel nuts out there.

The artwork is next-level in its beauty and intricacy—insert “frame or tattoo this artwork comment” here. As if 380 pages of rich, captivating and gloriously vivid panels and colouring weren’t enough, Alan Moore serves up wave after wave of sophisticated ideas and quite brilliant prose that breathe all kinds of life into an otherwise uninspiring DC character. This one moved a bit slower for my taste and while it was cool for Swamp Thing to start getting more powers and used to his new state - there was a lot that was still left somewhat unsatisfying to me. The unsettling yet beautiful artwork mixed with the suspense and keep story offered in the pages of the tome are truly a sight to behold.

Certains épisodes sont meilleurs que d'autres ; j'ai par exemple apprécié les premiers chapitres de ce livre. Also included in this Absolute, some sketch work, Moore's original script and an extensive afterword from Stephen R. Y tiene todas las propiedades que Moore nos enseña, aunque sus capacidades difícilmente podrían asumir la conciencia de una persona.

It really only salvaged five stars in the final arc, which was just too well told to be anything less than full marks. The last thing I should mention is that this is the first appearance of John Constantine and it makes a lot of sense why Jamie Delano’s first run of the character is so terrible.
