Absolute Swamp Thing by Alan Moore Vol. 1

Product Information

Panini esce con questi due volumi di raccolta e io le do un bacio di ringraziamento in cui lascio colare un rivoletto di bava. Comprising three deluxe hardcover volumes, ABSOLUTE SWAMP THING BY ALAN MOORE debuts completely new colouring for every page, crafted exclusively for this definitive collector's edition by legendary colour artist Steve Oliff (Akira, Miracleman). Es más, podría asemejar a La Cosa del Pantano a obras de la literatura universal como Frankenstein de Mary Shelley o Demian de Hermann Hesse antes que a cualquier número de la Liga de la Justicia. I always enjoy reading an author and seeing similar ideas get played out - noticing the changes and enhancements, like he's got this idea and keeps trying to perfect it. At long last, DC Comics is proud to present the original early appearances of Swamp Thing in prestigious Absolute format.

There is not much I can say more about this edition and only I can say - it's highly recommended read!As if 380 pages of rich, captivating and gloriously vivid panels and colouring weren’t enough, Alan Moore serves up wave after wave of sophisticated ideas and quite brilliant prose that breathe all kinds of life into an otherwise uninspiring DC character. The mossy look and feel of the cover is just like the first one, and still great and in the end a couple cool extra's make this yet another great edition with some minor faults, but still a great piece of work.

I tym razem jego dzieło zafundowało mi cudownym rollercoaster pełen fascynującej grozy, gęstej tajemniczej atmosfery oraz czasem wręcz iście kwasowych podróży. A place for fans of DC's comics, graphic novels, movies, and anything else related to one of the largest comic book publishers in the world and home of the World's Greatest Superheroes! I speculate that it would not have been Alan Moore’s idea to have these characters and cameos in them. Plus, Swamp Thing's quest for self-discovery comes to its shattering conclusion, and a harbinger of doom awakens an evil beyond comprehension-bringing together Constantine, Deadman, the Phantom Stranger, the Spectre and others. plus bas) Some episodes are better than others ; I for one really enjoyed the first chapters of this book.

As this is my first reading, I do not have nostalgia for the original coloring and do not have any problems with the re-coloring. 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 Ten. Upon sliding the massive tome out of its slipcase, I was delighted to discover an unexpectedly mossy feel to the cover.

He uses some lesser known supernatural characters from DCs massive roster like The Spectre, The Phantom Stranger and Jack Kirby's Etrigan the Demon. Apart from a two-parter that opens this set with a minor, tragic villain whose irradiated poison sets Swamp Thing back to zero, 14 of the 16 issues here form an interlinked epic known as "American Gothic," the thrust of which might be said to be elevating Swamp Thing from a horror-comic new icon right past the level of superhero and instead to the realm of god. These issues where Constantine has become a supporting character to swamp thing has reminded me why John is so beloved. Sí, el pequeño organismo que consume al hombre que pasó a ser la cosa del pantano, efectivamente existe.

Also included in this Absolute, some sketch work, Moore's original script and an extensive afterword from Stephen R. Swiftly killing most of the supporting cast and also its main character Swamp Thing, making a fresh start for the title and knocking it out of the park from day one.
