I've read all of Alan Moore's Swamp Thing, and while this doesn't have the depth of story, it's a very entertaining read and a bridge from Swampy's early start as a one shot horror comic to the more stable title that Moore took over. There is basically a complete story arc here and it's good to see the origins of some of the characters I'd loved and feared later in the series. For Swamp Thing fans, recommended reading.

The winner of many industry awards, the basis for Wes Craven's cult film, and the original incarnation of the series that introduced [a:Alan Moore|3961|Alan Moore|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1182935774p2/3961.jpg] to American fans, Roots of the Swamp Thing collects for the first time in hardcover the initial fourteen appearances of the legendary muck monster. Printed on a non-glossy paper stock, this volume offers perhaps the finest quality renditions of these oft-reprinted tales. As beautifully grotesque as when they first appeared, these Wein and Wrightson stories remain some of the best comic book horror stories.
