Writer Alan Moore (America's Best Comics) first gained notoriety in America with his critically-acclaimed work on THE SAGA OF THE SWAMP THING in the '80s. Breaking new boundaries in comic-book storytelling, his Swamp Thing run redefined the medium and gave a new name to horror. SWAMP THING: THE CURSE is the third VERTIGO trade paperback collecting Moore's Swamp Thing work, containing issues #35-42 of THE SAGA OF THE SWAMP THING in full color and featuring the artwork of Stephen Bissette, Stan Woch, John Totleben, Alfredo Alcala, and Ron Randall. Brimming with visceral horror, SWAMP THING: THE CURSE contains many Swamp Thing classics such as the environmental disaster story "The Nuke Face Papers," and the controversial encounter with a werewolf that gives this volume its name. THE CURSE also sees the introduction of one of VERTIGO's most popular and enduring characters - the trenchcoated, foul-mouthed black magician John Constantine. After meeting Swamp Thing, the Hellblazer sends the man- monster on a voyage of discovery that takes him from the darkest corners of America to the roots of his own long-hidden heritage, redefining him as an Elemental with a potential as vast as the Earth itself. SWAMP THING: THE CURSE is a 192-page VERTIGO trade paperback and is suggested for mature readers.
