In these Swamp Thing tales written by critically acclaimed Southern Gothic horror novelist Nancy Collins, a mad priest called Father Tocsin has come to Houma to test his followers with a fatal poison. But when Tocsin indoctrinates one of his friends, Swamp Thing must stop the killings before they spread too far. Then, it's a grassroots political campaign as Swamp Thing finds himself a surprise candidate for governor of Louisiana. And Swamp Thing must get help to save Abigail Arcane and their young daughter, Tefé, from the murderous dream-pirates of Dark Conrad. Who's he gonna call? John Constantine! And Anton Arcane returns from the darkest pits of hell to seek revenge on Swamp Thing and all those he holds dear!

About the Author
Collins has written 20 novels since 1989, many of which refer to and directly include races of creatures the author calls Pretenders, monsters from myth and legend passing as human to better hunt their prey.
Collins has also written a number of highly acclaimed Southern Gothic short stories and novellas, most of which are set in Seven Devils, Arkansas, a highly fictionalized version of her hometown.
Most recently, she has focused her attention onto the Golgotham urban fantasy series, published by Penguin. Golgotham is the "supernatural" ghetto of New York City, where creatures from myth and folklore--including witches, shape-shifters, leprechauns and centaurs--live and work in uneasy alliance with mankind.

- Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2024I love everything about this book.
It's a bit of money BUT WORTH EVERY PENNY!
- Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2020An amazing series and an even more amazing seller, the copy I purchased was not in new condition, the item that came was in plastic and aside from some smushing on the ends of the cover I have 0 reason to believe this copy was ever read. Kudos to the seller!! The Green thanks you!
- Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2024A wonderful graphic novel. One of the best I've ever read; fantastic art.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2020I first encountered Swamp Thing from the pre-Freddy Krueger Wes Craven film that constantly played on HBO, showcasing Adrienne's Barbeau's and a Steve Urkelesque Jude...hey. Never being a huge DC fan, it was not until years later that I read the original Bronze Age and Alan Moore runs, which were well ahead of comics writing of the time. Of course, most people stop at the Moore runs, forgetting that the book was still published in not so great runs. DC looked for horror writers with chops and chose Nancy A. Collins, author of the rather non liberal Sonja Blue vampire series to take the helm. Having grown up in the South, she had a particular view of the region, rather than an Englishman like Alan Moore, that she infused into the series, especially of Louisiana.
Anytime any writer brings in "real world" issues into a fictional world, they will always be accused of the buzzword of the week. Having grown up in the early 90's, I can recall the "American Patriot" David Duke's embarrassing run for Governor of Louisiana, the last gasp of fraudulent televangelists until the "Christmas Wars" of the 21st century, the various "Christian and wholesome" racist groups that crawled out from the rocks. Apparently, since Collins did not have Swamp Thing have a "sit down" session with the KKK or David Duke analogue, the work is "propaganda" worthy of RT...I mean...Pra..I mean the Wash...I mean MSM. Nearly ran out of rhetoric for a moment!
You'll get some real life horror in this run, in a fictional world, of course, but it works. Connie Sunderland and "Bubbles" Sunderland were created by Nancy A. Collins, and used in the sadly short lived TV series of last year. And as Collins is primarily a horror writer, quite a few of the stories don't have happy endings. But that's life, not "propaganda".
- Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2020Collins’ Swamp Thing May follow up Alan Moore’s run with the character, but it’s definitely more accessible in its tone and easy to read. The romance, horror, monsters, character cameos and even funny moments are all here.
This is definitely still not a kids story.
There’s a couple of pages in the book that I’m slightly partial too, as it’s the closest I’ve gotten to seeing a Swamp Thing and Neil Gaiman’s Sandman crossover. And as always, JOHN CONSTANTINE!
The artwork was great. The book is beautiful. I love Swamp Thing, and if you do too, this is a wonderful oversized book to enjoy for awhile.

- Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2020One of the nicest DC omni’s! Not my favorite Swampy run, I’d still say Millar, Soule, Snyder & of course Moore’s runs are by far superior, but still a fun read.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2021I wanted to read more swamp thing after I read Alan Moore's run on the character, this ones worth the read.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2020Great gothic horror. As for the one objection above...sort of goes with what’s happening now in the world... And this book was NEVER meant for young children. It is brilliant in art and story and a must by foe mature Swamp Thing fans.

4.0 out of 5 stars Mega-Monsterband
Das fast 1000 Seiten dicke Buch ist handwerklich tadellos gemacht, gedruckt und gebunden in Kanada, ein echter Schatz.
Die Stories sind durchwachsen, kein Wunder bei dieser Menge. Z.T. kommen sie aber durchaus an die Qualiät der Alan Moore-Geschichten heran. Manche sind eher komisch, satirisch, andere eher Horror oder Fantasy.
Probleme habe ich mit den Zeichnungen und Farben: zu viel weiß, blau, gelb und rot, zu wenig Sumpfatmosphäre.
Das haben andere Künstler vorher und nachher wirklich besser hinbekommen, aber auch hier gibt es viele schöne Passagen/ Seiten zu entdecken. Am besten, man schaut es sich mal in einem Comicshop an.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exceptional!
Not so known(in my country) run of Nancy Collins' Swamp Thing. Beautifully built, printed and bound, this bookzilla is not for the weak of arms.
I must say, together with Grant Morrison and Alan Moore, and the original masters Bernie Wrightson and Len Wein, it's a swampy poker. Brian K Vaughan's run is also nice, although not as good.
As for Lemire, he can go kick rocks, hurt his feet and then write a sad story about it.
