La cosa del pantano, volumen 5

by Alan Moore (Guion), John Totleben (Dibujo), Rick Veitch (Dibujo)

Acusada de cometer crímenes contra natura, Abby cae presa en Gotham. La respuesta de la Cosa del Pantano es fulminante: tomar la ciudad y transformarla en una jungla mientras no le devuelvan a su compañera. Pero desafiar a Gotham significa desafiar a Batman. Y mientras se desata una lucha entre el dios verde y el Caballero Oscuro, la agencia secreta conocida como DDI pone en marcha un plan para aniquilar definitivamente a la criatura vegetal. O al menos para expulsarla de la Tierra y condenarla a las soledades del espacio exterior. Con estos episodios (Swamp Thing núms. 51-56 USA), Alan Moore entró en la recta final de su etapa como guionista en La Cosa del Pantano. Y, junto a Rick Veitch y a un espectacular John Totleben, proyectó la serie hacia las más altas cimas del cómic mundial.

About the author

Alan Moore is an English writer most famous for his influential work in comics, including the acclaimed graphic novels Watchmen, V for Vendetta and From Hell.

As a comics writer, Moore is notable for being one of the first writers to apply literary and formalist sensibilities to the mainstream of the medium. As well as including challenging subject matter and adult themes, he brings a wide range of influences to his work, from the literary–authors such as William S. Burroughs, Thomas Pynchon, Robert Anton Wilson and Iain Sinclair; New Wave science fiction writers such as Michael Moorcock; horror writers such as Clive Barker; to the cinematic–filmmakers such as Nicolas Roeg.
