Saga of the Swamp Thing

[Cherokee Jack]

Were the Marty Pasko issues of SOTST (#s 1-19) ever collected in a TPB, or HC?

No, although I do remember one or two of those stories appearing in those "Best of DC" digests they'd put out every year. Couldn't tell you which one, though.

I come across those issues in quarter and dollar bins on a fairly regular basis; they can also be found online for pretty cheap. While not groundbreaking or anything, they're good reads and I recommend picking them up if you get the chance.

Thanks, but I already have the original issues (bought them off the stands when they came out.) I'd like to get rid of them (since many have Phantom Stranger backups I have no interest in) and replace them with a collected edition. But since none exists, I'm out of luck.

Here's a rad Spotify Playlist to go along with this series: http://panels.net/graphic-playlist-s...ng-alan-moore/

I have been appealing to DC officials for years to put this run into a trade paperback. It is definitely a great run, with great stories by Pasko and awesome art by Thomas Yeates, Steve Bissette and John Totleben and others. There are a lot of threads from this series that Alan Moore expounded upon in his run.

Really, I kind of thought he wrapped them all up in issue # 20. I know Gaiman certainly expanded on Matt's tale in Sandman. Still, they are decent stories that should get some kind of collection.

I'm 1000% behind a tpd for this run. Completely underrated.

A lot of it, though, was the Kubert school guys getting a chance at a major book. We give a lot of credit to Moore, but Bissette, Veitch, Totleben, Yeates, etc had a direction for the book before he even got involved.

The vampires from Saga of the Swamp Thing 3 came back to haunt Swamp Thing during Moore's run. Sunderland was from Pasko's and Yeates' run. In issue 54, Moore deals with former Swamp Thing companions, Dennis Barclay and Liz Tremayne, and it shows how crazy their lives have become since the group disbanded. So, Moore does use some plot points in his run from Pasko and Yeates.

I'm also interested in this run but mostly for the Phantom Stranger features. Are they good?

Ah, OK. it's been awhile. I've read the Moore stuff a ton of times, but the first 19 issues only once or twice.

Rather uneven. 13 issues with four different art teams (Fred Carillo drawing the majority), and five different writers.

I read these stories before I discovered the Len Wein/Bernie Wrightson tales and they were certaintly underrated.
