One of the best horror comics of the 1980s (or, really, of all time), Swamp Thing was writer Alan Moore's first go at doing a continuous series here in America--and what a series it was. From his first issue, which he ended by shooting Swamp Thing in the head and apparently killing him, through more that 50 issues (obviously, Swampy did not die in issue #20), Moore produced a potent brew of horror, tragedy, and, occasionally, comedy (sometimes all three simultaneously), aided and abetted by artists Steve Bissette, John Totleben and several others.
The photo above is of the first volume of his adventures as written by Moore--all of the volumes are worth a read (several reads, actually) and can be found at your local comic book store.
