Release date: July 7, 2010. ISBN 1-4012-2701-5 Len Wein and Bernie Wrightson are the creators of Swamp Thing, and since Swamp Thing does enter my top 10 DC characters, I was really excited to do this review. McAvennie, Michael (2010). "1970s". In Dolan, Hannah (ed.). DC Comics Year By Year A Visual Chronicle. Dorling Kindersley. p.146. ISBN 978-0-7566-6742-9. 'Swamp Thing' was the name of Len Wein and Bernie Wrightson's turn-of-the-century tale, and its popularity with readers led a modernized version of the character into its own series a year later. Durante la lectura no se te pasa por la cabeza ni una sola vez que esta historia pertenezca al mismo universo que el resto de personajes superheroicos de DC porque el tono y la crudeza de sus páginas no son propias de los mismos (exceptuando a Batman en contadas ocasiones). Es más, podría asemejar a La Cosa del Pantano a obras de la literatura universal como Frankenstein de Mary Shelley o Demian de Hermann Hesse antes que a cualquier número de la Liga de la Justicia. The stories and writing have the natural somewhat dated feel that all comics from this time had but Len Wein's poetic and dynamic prose really kept me going. I loved the characters and issue to issue narratives too. Matt Cable has a really fun and satisfying development, but Abby kinda just tags along with him and doesn't say much which was weird. I do think the very nature (pun intended) of the Swamp Thing character is intriguing. You feel his tragedy and emotion, and the mutual heart and raw feelings from Len and Berni that grew into the original short story carried it throughout the rest of the issues.
