Swamp Thing TV Show: 8 Things You Need To Know
7. He's Starred In Some Of DC's Most Iconic Stories
With almost 50 years of stories under his belt, Swamp Thing has had an eclectic range of stories to his name and most every creative run on the various volumes has been met with positive reactions from fans.
Undoubtedly the character's biggest stories, however, came from Alan Moore, such as the iconic Issue #21, Anatomy Lesson, where the Swamp Thing's backstory is changed to make him more monstrous and technically not human at all. The American Gothic storyline - which led John Constantine and Swamp Thing to take down a doomsday cult - was equally fantastic.
A lesser known, yet equally brilliant Alan Moore yarn, is My Blue Heaven, Issue #56, when the Swamp Thing leaves Earth and finds a planet in nothing but shades of blue and, like Bizarro, begins to make plant replicas of his friends from Earth.
Martin Pasko's take which preceded Moore's, where he's on a globetrotting quest to stop the Antichrist from destroying the world, is also worthy of a mention.
After Alan Moore though, another familiar name would take the helm for a new Swamp Thing book. Brian K. Vaughn actually wrote the follow-up volume which was about Tefe Holland, the half-sprout, half-human daughter of Swamp Thing and Abigail.
