	Swamp Thing Vol. 1: Saga of the Swamp Thing at CrazyFish.net
		Swamp Thing soon comes out of his catonic state and confronts Floronic Man and tells him he's hurting 'the green'.
		In this issue, Swamp Thing, who was thought dead, has an autopsy performed on him by the Floronic Man who discovers that the creature has no human skeleton or organs...thus he is not, and never was Alec Holland as we had always thought.
		We of course would later learn that Swamp Thing was actually a plant elemental and just the latest in a long line of such creatures.

		Half-way through the volume there is a scene where the Swamp Thing raises his arms to the sky, basking in the brilliant, orange hues of a sun-rise set against the beautiful swamp -- it is very inspiring and uplifting and makes you feel something not commonly felt when reading a ‘horror’ title: hope.

	Swamp Thing
		During a period in which Swamp Thing was absent from Earth, the Parliament of Trees began the creation of a new elemental, the "sprout".
		Swamp Thing defied their order, and instead figured a way to allow both to live; he possessed the form of sorceror John Constantine, and in his body impregnated Abby, thus generating a human body for the sprout, a combination of animal and plant kingdoms.
		Shortly afterwards Swamp Thing was attacked by aliens, as a prelude to a major invasion, and was sent skipping back through time, to both world wars, the old west, the American revolution, and the time of ancient Camelot.

		Moore's swamp is a universe larger than that which we inhabit, and his Swamp Thing is the walking embodiment of that world, a plant elemental who can form and re-form from the green around him, rising again and again from the gassy, mired swamps, speaking for the untold teeming voices therein.

		Some people take it even further, feeling that the saga of the Swamp Thing flowed directly from Wein and Wrightson into Alan Moore's adoption of the character, ignoring not only the remainder of the original series, but also his guest shots alongside Deadman in Challengers of the Unknown.
		Moore reinvented Swamp Thing as a plant elemental, created to be a protector of the world's vegetation.
		The key difference introduced by Moore was that Swamp Thing had been mistaken in believing that he had once been human; rather, he was a pure creature of the swamp, distinct from the body and soul of the scientist he thought he had been.

	Rambles: Saga of the Swamp Thing
		Oh, all the props are there: ouija boards, demons and strange-looking, human-shaped things crawling around in dark, fetid areas usually associated with cultish horror plots.
		But this is Alan Moore's version of the Swamp Thing, which means that by-the-book horror is the one thing you won't find in the pages of this highly absorbing story.
		Swamp Thing was a second-tier character headed for oblivion before Moore picked him up and dusted him off for a re-creation that both redefined and revived this almost-forgotten leftover from the horror line.

	Graphic novel review - Swamp Thing 1: Saga of the Swamp Thing - Alan Moore, John Totleben, Steve Bissette, Shawn McManus
		Swamp Thing was previously about the ghost of a man refusing to leave behind the real world and creating himself a body made of plants, through which he could shamble about the swamp and interact with the human's from his past.
		Moore's deft plot and dialogue shift the Swamp Thing into a new paradigm without tarnishing the continuity of the series.
		The artwork is also superb, with Bissette and Totleben creating a classic vision of the swamp, even if the colour is a little lacking due to the simplistic technology used when the book was first published.

	Alan Moore
		Blue Devil was dopey, while Saga of the Swamp Thing was a pathetic revival series DC had done as a tie-in with the crappy movie a couple of years ago, which nobody read.
		One of the most impressive things about Alan Moore is that, even with his literary stylings and the vast storehouse of knowledge his work demonstrates, he had no formal education.
		Assigned to the poorly performing Saga of the Swamp Thing, Moore undertook the virtuoso performance that introduced him to American readers like me. His success at DC led to his most famous work, Watchmen, an ambitious and densely layered meditation on what it would really be like if superheroes existed.

		The classic issues of Alan Moore's Swamp Thing comics are reprinted, as the swamp creature that was once a man deals with the horrors that enter his world, both physical and mental.
		Revitalizing both Swamp Thing and the horror genre of comics, these issues boast detailed, tortured art by Steve (Tyrant) Bissette and John Totleben.

		Saga of the Swamp Thing by Alan Moore
		"Saga of the Swamp Thing" is an early work and while it already shows Moore's intelligence and potential, it isn't as satisfying as the titles I mentioned.
		I have the feeling that Moore was trying too hard to please the "comic horror" public by playing along with some of the silly conventions of the genre - notably the insistence with which demons and all sorts of monsters spring out of the ground to terrify the human populace for no reason.

	Broken Frontier \| The Portal for Quality Comics Coverage!
		I started reading Saga of the Swamp Thing after the movie debuted in 1982. While his roots (pardon the pun) were in horror, I didn’t think the Swamp Thing was all that scary.
		The story is straightforward enough—Swamp Thing has discovered that his beloved Abigail has been killed at the hands of his old nemesis Arcane (who inhabits the body of Matthew Cable) and our hero squares off against the horrid fiend. But Moore’s storytelling and Veitch and Totleben’s artwork sets the tale apart.
		Devastated by Abby’s death, Swamp Thing carries her body as he stalks through falling snow. Arcane follows, taunting him. The exchange between hero and villain really establishes Arcane’s foul nature.

		In an unusual fashion, this new ground was broken on a tired old series, as the Swamp Thing title was moribund and probably headed for cancellation.
		It's quite surprising that Moore was given free rein to completely reinvent this established character, and in the process he both proved himself as one of the strongest writers in the field, and sent the comics world in new and darker directions that are still being felt today.
		After ending the twenty issue run of Martin Pasko for him, Alan Moore presents a retcon of the Swamp Thing character and brings in DC minor characters such as the Demon and Floronic Man. In his changes to Swamp Thing's origins Moore shows his brilliance and brings the character much closer to the swamp itself.
