Swamp Thing # 52 (DC, 1986) Alan Moore story Stephen Bissette cover

Description: You're bidding on the following comic book:Swamp Thing #52DC 1986Single issue [Alan] Moore discarded the idea that Swamp Thing was in any way human in a startling story titled "The Anatomy Lesson" (21) and eventually developed him into an Earth elemental able to materialize any vegetated area. Under Moore Swamp Thing encompassed horror standbys as manifestations of human problems and cruelty, and, as it had done in the 1970s, redefined what a horror comic could be. Almost every issue by Moore, [Stephen] Bissette and [John] Totleben (and subsequent artists Rick Veitch and Alfredo Alcala) can be recommended, and the variety of approach and storytelling methods is astonishing. As samples try four very different stories: the tale of a toxic hobo in 35 and 36; the examination of menstrual pain in 40; Gotham held hostage by Swamp Thing ins 52 and 53; or the horrific return of Martin Pasko's supporting characters in 54.Recommended: 44-55, 57, 58, 63, 64 70-72--The Slings & Arrows Comic Guide CONDITION: Very Fine (VF 8.0)All comic books are individually bagged and boarded.
