Product Information

Featuring weekly comic release discussions, creator AMAs, a friendly and helpful userbase, and much more! Nunca me había llamado la atención este personaje, ni siquiera tras escuchar que Alan Moore lo había trabajado; me causaba bastante indiferencia.

I think that this book made DC great again and led them to make a ballsy imprint like Vertigo Comics shortly after. 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.Created out of the Swamp by a freak accident, Swamp Thing is an elemental creature who uses the forces of nature and wisdom of the plant kingdom to fight the polluted world s self-destruction. Created by comics legends Len Wein and Bernie Wrightson, the muck monster from the bayou would go on to become one of DC’s premier horror characters. It is a little expensive and it has a twin (second volume) but if you ever wished to experience this series for the first time again, now is your chance. I enjoyed the more comic like moments where other characters crossed in most as they had the least narration an actually felt like things were happening rather than being told. The recoloring by Steve Olif is much debated, but i think it looks great, and the artwork by Bissette, Totleben and Veitch among the best i have ever seen, there are a couple fill in artists but they are all great.

This truly is one of the best comics ever made and this is the main reason why Swamp Thing is still a known name today. This and the fact these were released as issues and not a complete graphic novel, means a lot of unnecessary recaps and descriptions of things that are already known or shown in the artwork. Certains épisodes sont meilleurs que d'autres ; j'ai par exemple apprécié les premiers chapitres de ce livre.As one of the medium's most important innovators since the early 1980s, Moore has influenced an entire generation of comics creators, and his work continues to inspire an ever-growing audience. When Alan Moore took this book over from Len Wein, he had a completely different vision of what Swamp Thing was.

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. The intro to this book blew me away and I'm glad I waited to read this series, this is a great edition for a first timer. The two Shawn Macmanus issues just weren't the same, and no, I didn't read the Pog issue, that one doesn't count.By the time they'd finished their work four years later, SWAMP THING by Alan Moore, Stephen R, Bissette, John Totleben, and Rick Veitch was universally recognized as one of the handful of titles that defined a new era of complexity and depth in modern graphic storytelling, and their run on the series remains one of the medium's most enduring masterpieces. Finance is provided by PayPal Credit (a trading name of PayPal UK Ltd, Whittaker House, Whittaker Avenue, Richmond-Upon-Thames, Surrey, United Kingdom, TW9 1EH). One of the greatest comic's runs of all time, and whilst I am not going to argue, I'm not quite there yet myself. Also included in this Absolute, some sketch work, Moore's original script and an extensive afterword from Stephen R. Alan Moore's legendary run of Swamp Thing tales is collected in Absolute format at last, completely recolored for this new edition!

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-. He is also the mastermind behind the America's Best Comics line, through which he has created (along with many talented illustrators) The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Promethea, Tom Strong, Tomorrow Stories and Top 10. As well as including challenging subject matter and adult themes, he brings a wide range of influences to his work, from the literary–authors such as William S. Well my girlfriend got me this collection for my birthday last week, and it is a transcendent experience.Koncept postaci Potwora z Bagien wydaje się wręcz banalnie prosty, ale to właśnie tym bardziej potwierdza geniusz Moore'a, bo wykorzystuje właśnie tego bohatera do stworzenia jednej z najoryginalniejszych opowieści ze świata DC.
