Deep in the bayous of Louisiana, far from civilization's grasp, a shadowed creature seen only in fleeting glimpses roils the black waters...a twisted, vegetative mockery of a man...a Swamp Thing! Created by writer Len Wein and artist Bernie Wrightson, this shambling, muck-encrusted figure swiftly became one of DC's most iconic characters of the Bronze Age of Comics, and his shocking stories have become classics in the gothic horror genre. Now, for the first time, the mid-1970s tales of Swamp Thing are collected in trade paperback. In these tales, Swamp Thing encounters a scientist bent on destroying the minds of world leaders, an old-age home whose inhabitants are using black magic to regain their youth and an alien whose long voyage across the cosmos has driven him insane. Collects Swamp Thing #14-24, plus Challengers of the Unknown #81-87 and The Brave and the Bold #122 and #176.
