Saga of the swamp thing 215/29/2023 Common spandex adventures are not to be found here, and this title is better without it. Characters such as Batman, John Constantine, Etrigan and The Spectre guest-star in the run, but they are not integral to it. While DC icons Batman and Superman share a common world, Swamp Thing is more or less set outside of that, while still existing within it. Moore took advantage of this freedom, placing no limits on the exploration of Swamp Thing's world.Īside from having a relatively fresh protagonist, Moore was also able to devise plots for the creature free from the continuity of the regular DCU. The creature was merely bound by the continuity of the previous 20 issues, leaving Moore free to do as he wished. Swamp Thing became Moore's own creative sandbox. The creature progresses thrughout the next 40 issues from not understanding what it is to becoming a dominant force of nature, able to transport itself across the globe, through space and even beyond the realm of the living. Our "hero" starts off as a monster, escaping from its captors and questioning its humanity. Swamp Thing's strength comes from the fact that it is like nothing else out there.
