Patrick`s mentor, a wonderfully devious detective named Jay Becker, has already disappeared in St Petersburg, Florida, while working the case, so the two head there to pick up a trail.

Alan Moore s classic SWAMP THING tales, published in hardcover for the first time! Created by a freak accident, the Swamp Thing is an elemental creature who uses the forces of nature and wisdom of the plant kingdom to rail against a polluted world s self-destruction. Inspired by the 1970s creation of writer Len Wein and artist Bernie Wrightson, Alan Moore, the writer of WATCHMEN and V FOR VENDETTA, took the Swamp Thing to new heights in the 1980s with his unique narrative approach. His provocative and groundbreaking writing, combined with masterly artwork by some of the medium s top artists, made SWAMP THING one of the great comics of the late twentieth century.
