Just picked up the Swamp Thing box set for cheap. What am I in for?

My favorite comic to this day. Pure creativity. Let it wash over you.

Alan Moore method-acted as Swamp Thing while writing this to get into the character's head. He's probably the only comic book writer to try that hard to understand his characters, and it pays off.

Do you ever actually read any comics or do you always rely on /co/ to tell you what your opinions are?

I don't know.

/co/ what do we think?

A good comic.

Did he like larp that he was giving parts of himself to his friends when he was giving them drugs?

First issue sucks. It gets good after that.

>>149699631
That wasn't written by Moore.

It's kind of confusing at first because it starts with Moore essentially wrapping up a different writer's story and character drama but it gets good after that.

>>149699634
First issue of Moore's run is shit.

kino, there's a reason it's so highly regarded

>>149699478 (OP)
A pretty good comic book.

>>149699505
I think Steve Gerber did that too.

People who imagine Moore humorless have never read his work.
This scenario managed to achieve existential horror, body horror and black humor all at once.
