The two-year run on Swamp Thing by critically acclaimed Southern Gothic horror novelist Nancy A. Collins is collected for the first time ever. In these Swamp Thing tales written by critically acclaimed Southern Gothic horror novelist Nancy Collins, a mad priest called Father Tocsin has come to Houma to test his followers with a fatal poison. But when Tocsin indoctrinates one of his friends, Swamp Thing must stop the killings before they spread too far. Then, it's a grassroots political campaign as Swamp Thing finds himself a surprise candidate for governor of Louisiana. And Swamp Thing must get help to save Abigail Arcane and their young daughter, Tefé, from the murderous dream-pirates of Dark Conrad. Who's he gonna call? John Constantine! And Anton Arcane returns from the darkest pits of hell to seek revenge on Swamp Thing and all those he holds dear! This title collects Swamp Thing #110-139 and Swamp Thing Annual #6 and #7, not reprinted since their original publication in the early 1990s. Review: 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. Review: Huge book! Beautiful art! Fun story! - I love everything about this book. It's a bit of money BUT WORTH EVERY PENNY!

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.

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.

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!

Yes, more please
Hopefully this is the start of more Swamp Thing collections in oversize hardcover. It's great to have something more than the Moore run. While Collins can't top Moore (no one can it's the best run on any comic character), there are some great tales and moments here.

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.

Mega-Monsterband
Das fast 1000 Seiten dicke Buch ist handwerklich tadellos gemacht, gedruckt und gebunden in Kanada, ein echter Schatz. Die Stories sind durchwachsen, kein Wunder bei dieser Menge. Z.T. kommen sie aber durchaus an die Qualiät der Alan Moore-Geschichten heran. Manche sind eher komisch, satirisch, andere eher Horror oder Fantasy. Probleme habe ich mit den Zeichnungen und Farben: zu viel weiß, blau, gelb und rot, zu wenig Sumpfatmosphäre. Das haben andere Künstler vorher und nachher wirklich besser hinbekommen, aber auch hier gibt es viele schöne Passagen/ Seiten zu entdecken. Am besten, man schaut es sich mal in einem Comicshop an.
