  Amazon.co.uk: Swamp Thing: Dark Genesis (DC Comics Vertigo): Books: Len Wein,Berni Wrightson,Bernie Wrightson   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
There are actually not one genesis but two in the first two stories (just like the original in fact), not to be confused with the famous revision worked by Alan Moore down the road.
Historically "Swamp Thing" is an important comic book because it was the first horror comic to be geared towards a more adult oriented readership since the glory days of EC Comics with "Tales of the Crypt" in the 1950s.
If you begin with "Dark Genesis" and proceed directly to the Moore years in the 1980s (which is basically what these reprints do), you are not going to be disappointed, because relatively speaking, nothing happened in the years in between.

The concept of a shared universe in comics (A professional performer who tells jokes and performs comical acts) involves writers and editors, together with artists, who together create a series of titles where events in one book would have repercussions in another title and serialized stories would show characters grow and change.
Editors at DC came to consider the varied continuity of multiple Earths too difficult to keep track of, and feared that it was an obstacle to accessibility for new readers.

If the Sandman and Lucifer comics are considered part of the DCU then it is quite clear the Spectres god created the DCU.
In the Luicifer comic it is stated the arch angel Michael created the universe with Lucifer.
In the way Vertigo is kind of part of the DCU, but if there is a conflict of ideas, I would first take anything that is part of DC comics (Batman, Superman, WW storylines) as something more universally true (in comics at least).

Shortly afterward, DC's publicity department let out information that following the decade in which he'd been instrumental in the success of The Fantastic Four, X-Men, Thor and many other successful superheroes, Kirby would be striking out in new directions.

Nowadays, Mister Miracle is one of a company that includes Elongated Man, Black Lightning, Adam Strange and dozens if not hundreds more — DC heroes who used to hold down series of their own, don't anymore, but still turn up from time to time.

Back in 1987, longtime publisher Charlton Comics was going through the ultimate transition: the company was closing down, and was selling off all its assets, including the art and the rights to the books it had published.
And along with the usual perversely comic retakes on old romance stories, the issue will feature a reprint of an eight-page story by Joe Staton and Nicola Cuti, called Eternal Teacher, which originally appeared in Charlton's Haunted Love #1 in 1973, and is now in the public domain.
