Saga of the Swamp Thing #1
In "Loose Ends," Alan Moore, Stephen R. Bissette, and John Totleben kick off a haunting exploration of identity and memory, as General Sunderland commissions Jason Woodrue to uncover the truth behind Swamp Thing’s transformation. But what Woodrue discovers—something that challenges even the monster’s own sense of self—sets off a chain of events that blurs the line between man and plant, memory and myth. The cover by Bissette and Totleben captures the eerie stillness of a world where nothing is quite as it seems.
