Swamp Thing: The New 52 Omnibus
On request

Swamp Thing: The New 52 Omnibus

Scott Snyder relaunched Swamp Thing for the New 52 alongside his Batman run, turning Alec Holland into the reluctant avatar of a green kingdom at war with rot. Rotworld is the crossover with Jeff Lemire's Animal Man, and reading the two together is the point, the Animal Man chapters are included here for exactly that reason. Yanick Paquette's page layouts, with borders that grow like plants, are among the most beautiful in DC's modern output.

About the writer

More from Alan Moore

Alan Moore writes superhero comics as formal experiments and political arguments, treating the genre as material to be taken apart rather than celebrated.

Batman: The Killing Joke Deluxe Edition

Batman: The Killing Joke Deluxe Edition

The Killing Joke was published in 1988 as a one-shot in which the Joker sets out to prove that one bad day is all it takes to break anyone. Bolland finishes his own art and the control is the point: the Joker is terrifying because the drawing never flinches. The recolouring is genuinely different from the 1988 version, flatter, colder, with the flashbacks in near-monochrome, and it is the reason this edition exists. It remains the most cited Joker story ever published.

V for Vendetta 30th Anniversary Deluxe Edition

V for Vendetta 30th Anniversary Deluxe Edition

Begun in black and white for a British anthology in 1982 and finished in colour for DC, V for Vendetta sets anarchy against fascism in a near-future Britain. Moore refuses to make his protagonist comfortable: V is a terrorist and the book never resolves that for the reader. David Lloyd stripped out sound effects, thought balloons and motion lines, leaving only what a camera would catch. The Guy Fawkes mask left the book and entered the street, which very few comics can claim.

Watchmen Deluxe Edition

Watchmen Deluxe Edition

Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons took a set of discarded Charlton characters in 1986 and used them to ask what costumed power would actually do to a country. The nine-panel grid, the recurring symbols and the symmetry of chapter five make the structure part of the argument, and the prose sections are not optional, they carry a third of the story. Watchmen is the book almost every deconstruction since is answering, and the deluxe format restores John Higgins' colour choices that cheap paper flattened.

Superman: Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow? The Deluxe Edition

Superman: Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow? The Deluxe Edition collects Alan Moore and Curt Swan's farewell to the Silver Age Superman — the last story of that continuity before Crisis on Infinite Earths swept it away. Moore called it an imaginary story and then made it the most final one ever told: the villains stop playing, the supporting cast dies, and Superman has to decide what he is willing to do about it.

Promethea: The 20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition Book Three

The final volume of Alan Moore's fantasy epic puts Promethea on trial in the Immateria and then ends the world, calmly and on purpose. Moore and J.H. Williams III spend the last issues turning the comics page itself into the subject, and the result is unlike anything else in the medium.

Promethea: The 20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition Book One

Promethea: The 20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition Book Two

The middle volume is where Promethea stops being a superhero comic and becomes a guided walk up the Tree of Life, one sephirah per issue, with Sophie and Barbara talking their way through creation. It is the most formally ambitious stretch Moore has written for a monthly comic.

Description

Background. Before Watchmen, Alan Moore made his American debut by reinventing Swamp Thing with Stephen R. Bissette, John Totleben and Rick Veitch. Between 1983 and 1987 they turned a minor horror title into one of the books that defined modern, adult comics.

What's inside. The Saga of the Swamp Thing #20-34 and Swamp Thing Annual #2: Moore's first issues, including The Anatomy Lesson, which rewrites the creature's origin, and the run's early masterpieces. Every page has new colouring by Steve Oliff, known for Akira, made for this edition. Bissette contributes a long new afterword, alongside historic material from the original creative team.

Why it's worth it. The Anatomy Lesson is one of the most influential single issues in American comics. Oliff's new colour makes this the version of the run to own, and it is the first of three volumes.

Edition details. 448 pages. Oversized Absolute Edition, new colouring. US edition published by DC Comics, 27 October 2020. ISBN 9781779506955.
