Swamp Thing by Nancy A. Collins Omnibus collects the acclaimed horror-novelist's run on the character — the first extended female-authored Swamp Thing, following the legendary tenures of Alan Moore and Rick Veitch. Collins steers the title into darker Southern-gothic territory: Swamp Thing and Abby's family life, ecological menace and the return of old enemies like Anton Arcane. A key early-Vertigo horror chapter, collected complete with bonus material including the unpublished "Arcane Blood" proposal. Art by Phil Hester, Scot Eaton and Russ Braun.
