false <![CDATA[Swamp Thing Vol. 1: Saga of the Swamp Thing]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171484951m/102324.jpg 102324 10 Created out of the Swamp by a freak accident, Swamp Thing is an elemental creature who uses the forces of nature and wisdom of the plant kingdom to fight the polluted world's self-destruction. Inspired by the creation of writer Len Wein and artist Berni Wrightson, Alan Moore took the Swamp Thing to new heights in the 1980s with his unique narrative approach. His provocative and groundbreaking writing, combined with masterly artwork by some of the medium's top artists, made SWAMP THING one of the great comics of the late twentieth century. This volume includes Moore's first seven issues, SAGA OF THE SWAMP THING #21-27. 2952350 1987 Swamp Thing Vol. 1: Saga of the Swamp Thing total:1198|5:14|4:22|3:9|2:2|1:0| 1198 5016 1500 73 5 3 false false Tue Oct 28 08:20:28 -0700 2008 Mon Sep 15 23:08:20 -0700 2008 Tue Oct 28 08:20:28 -0700 2008 Watchmen...more...]]> 5 1 false false Mon Oct 22 19:40:01 -0700 2007 Thu Dec 13 20:48:17 -0800 2007 more...]]> 3 1 false true Mon Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sat Oct 06 18:59:51 -0700 2007 Wed Jan 23 18:34:46 -0800 2008 Swamp Thing.
