About the series
In the early 2000s, DC Comics gave the elemental muck-monster a new lease on life with a 20-issue series that leaned into ecological horror and political intrigue. Written primarily by Brian K. Vaughan and Heidi MacDonald, with a rotating art team that included Roger Petersen, Giuseppe Camuncoli, and Paul Pope, this run explored the Swamp Thing's role as a guardian of the Green while grappling with corporate greed and environmental decay. Though brief, it stands as a distinctive, moody chapter in the character's history, showcasing rising talent before they became household names.
