The legendary Swamp Thing has resurfaced for a new age-just as a new force threatens to rot away all life on Earth! Since the dawn of time, the planet’s safety has depended on maintaining a balance of three great powers: THE GREEN, the force that unites all plant life; THE RED, the force that unites all animal life; and THE ROT, the force of death. Each generation, the Green selects an avatar to serve as its protector-the Swamp Thing. But Doctor Alec Holland, the Green’s newest champion, is no longer interested in the role. The Rot’s own avatar is growing stronger, and servants of decay gain more territory every day. If Alec doesn’t return to his duties soon, there might not be any Green left to protect. The superstar team of #1 New York Times best-selling writer Scott Snyder (BATMAN, AMERICAN VAMPIRE) and artist Yanick Paquette (BATMAN, INC.), reworks one of comics’ greatest characters for a new age, with support from wonderful talents Jeff Lemire, Marco Rudy, Becky Cloonan, Francesco Francavilla, Steve Pugh and more. Collects SWAMP THING #0-18, ANIMAL MAN #12, 17 and SWAMP THING ANNUAL #1, as well as never-before-seen sketches and an introduction by SWAMP THING co-creator Len Wein.

Doctor Alec Holland's desire to leave the Green behind and forget his time as the Swamp Thing is denied when a new darkness threatens the world and the Green changes Swamp Thing from protector to conqueror.

THE SAGA OF THE SWAMP THING LIVES ON! Dr. Alec Holland was a brilliant scientist who was developing a bio-restorative formula that would rejuvenate plant life. When he died, he was reborn as the Swamp Thing, the avatar of the Green. As champion and protector of all plants on the planet, Swamp Thing has access to untold power. But such power also attracts danger. In this daring new reinterpretation, Swamp Thing is put to the ultimate test when he faces several challenges that push the limits of his abilities. There’s the Rot, the kingdom of death and decay that is hell-bent on destroying all life on Earth. Anton Arcane, his archnemesis, has also returned from the grave yet again. When another contender for the role of avatar of the Green steps forth, the creature who was once Alec Holland is forced to defend the mantle that he has grudgingly learned to accept. And just when you thought that the Green had its hands full with the Red and the Rot, yet another kingdom, the Machines, declares war.

Before the groundbreaking graphic novel Watchmen, Alan Moore made his debut in the U.S. comic book industry with the revitalization of the horror comic book Swamp Thing. His deconstruction of the classic monster stretched the creative boundaries of the medium and became one of the most spectacular series in comic book history. With modern-day issues explored against a backdrop of horror, Swamp Thing's stories became commentaries on environmental, political and social issues, unflinching in their relevance. Includes the story The Anatomy Lesson, a haunting origin story that reshapes Swamp Thing mythology with terrifying revelations that begin a journey of discovery and adventure that will take him across the stars and beyond. Author Alan Moore and illustrators Stephen Bissette, John Totleben, Rick Veitch, Shawn McManus, Ron Randall and Dan Day join together to rise from the swamps in slipcased hardcover edition, Absolute Swamp Thing by Alan Moore Vol. 2. This collects Saga of the Swamp Thing #35-49 with brand-new coloring.
