DC Finest: Swamp Thing: The Man Who Would Not Die

By Various

The swamp remembers everything--even the man it refused to let die. DC Finest: Swamp Thing: The Man Who Would Not Die gathers the era-defining Bronze Age saga that birthed DC's most haunting monster hero.

From the character's debut appearance in The House of Secrets #92 to the origin, betrayals, and revelations of the classic Swamp Thing series, Len Wein and Bernie Wrightson craft a slow-burn tragedy about loss, guilt, and transformation.

When scientist Alec Holland is seemingly doused in an experimental chemical on the verge of death in a Louisiana swamp, the Swamp Thing is created--but the truth of the Swamp Thing's identity is much stranger and more arcane than a simple transformative accident.

Wein, Wrightson, and their collaborators craft a dark, mysterious, and horror-drenched epic that travels through the most bizarre corners of the DC Universe, now collected in the first Swamp Thing volume in the DC Finest line.

Collects Swamp Thing #1-22; The House of Secrets #92, #140; The Phantom Stranger #14; The Brave and the Bold #122.
