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, BRAVE AND THE BOLD #122 and #176, DC COMICS PRESENTS #8, CHALLENGERS OF THE UNKNOWN #81-87.
