Revision as of 21:24, 30 May 2020
The Swamp Thing comic book series started in 1972 and has been revived several times; its longest-running writers are Alan Moore, Mark Millar, Nancy A. Collins, and Rick Veitch, but a whole lot of people worked on it with varying degrees of success. I'm pretty into it.
I wrote the following review series on my blog, covering 301 issues across several titles (not every appearance of the character, but all the ones I could find at the time) plus the 1983 movie and the 2019 TV show. This index is more convenient than scrolling through the blog. There are plenty of other online commentaries about Swamp Thing, and this isn't an issue-by-issue recap or a full set of annotations, just what came to mind while reading it.
