Description: DC Comics Classics Library: Roots of the Swamp ThingHardcover w/ Dust Jacket Writer: Len Wein Artists: Bernie Wrightson, Nestor Redondo, & Michael W. Kaluta Cover by: Bernie Wrightson, Nestor Redondo, & Luis Dominguez The tales that made Swamp Thing a fan-favorite are collected in hardcover for the first time! Featuring the first appearance from House of Secrets #92 along with Swamp Thing #1-13 and featuring moody art by legendary artist Bernie Wrightson! Looking for the complete early run of "Swamp Thing" from 1972, " DC Comics Classics Library: Roots of the Swamp Thing" provides that and more. The dust jacket is great and features the fan-favorite cover from "Swamp Thing" #9. This hardcover contains all 10 original stories, reproduced on quality stock. Also included is the first appearance and story of the Swamp Thing from "The House Of Secrets" #92. The stories by Len Wein are well written, venturing from dark to lighthearted and sympathetic. The artwork is topnotch, drawn by comics' legend Bernie Wrightson. Wrightson's pencils create the perfect atmosphere for our beloved monster, moody/macabre tones and fantastic facial expressions. Wrightson's artwork is also dark, creepy, and makes you feel the moss and dirt crumbling off of Swampy with every step he takes. As a bonus this book includes Swamp Thing #11-13, with artwork by Nestor Redondo. This is not the elemental-fantasy Swamp Thing of Alan Moore & John Totleben. Instead, this is a more horror-oriented version that would fit right in with an EC comic or Warren magazine. These macabre classic tales feature the first appearance of Arcane and his Un-Men, the Patchwork Man, a great team-up of sorts with Batman, and confrontations with werewolves, aliens, robots, and ghosts. Swamp Thing created by Len Wein & Bernie Wrightson. Collects: House of Secrets (1956) Issue #92 & Swamp Thing (1972) Issues #1-13.
