Nice conclusion to the Bronze Age Series

Reviewed in the United States on 1 March 2021

Verified Purchase

I really enjoyed volumes 1 and 2 of the Swamp Thing Bronze Age series, so I knew I had to get Volume 3 as soon as it came out.

The product description is a little misleading. This volume actually contains issues 1 - 19 of Saga of Swamp Thing as well as Saga of Swamp Thing Annual #1. After Swamp Thing original series ended and he had a few appearances in Challengers of the Unknown, he was given a new series in 1982. This was around the same time that the Swamp Thing movie hit theaters and the character was really gaining in popularity. The series ties in with movie promos in that SOST #2 cover is a photo from the film an SOST Annual is a comic adaptation of the film itself.

As with the first two volumes, the stories in this volume capture all of the wonderful weirdness of Swamp Thing's world in beautiful color. This series was a nice blend of superhero action and supernatural horror. One of my favorites was issue #3 where Swamp Thing found himself in a town overrun by vampires. The "punk-rock" vampires in that issue were so gruesome and cool at the same time.

This also marks the end of the original Swamp Thing concept where he was a scientist transformed into a monster. After this, Alan Moore got his hands on the character and made him into the "Plant Elemental" that he remains today. I never liked this change to the character. I felt that by making Swamp Thing a "plant that dreamed he was a man" it really robbed the character of his Humanity. I was always hoping that someone would reboot the character back to his human roots (so to speak), but that only happened in the movie sequel and first TV series. Thankfully, I now have all of the original concept stories and they're great.

Highly recommend all 3 volumes of the Bronze Age series for those who enjoy the original concept of Swamp Thing in the comics and movies.

Overlooked and overshadowed by Moore’s run. Great writing in my opinion.

Reviewed in the United States on 18 April 2021

Verified Purchase

This is the collection of issues right before Alan Moore took over. After reading Moore’s run and loving it, I figured I’d read what lead up to that. I was ready to be disappointed, but was not at all. No, it’s not Alan Moore, but it really didn’t feel that far off. I was pleasantly surprised. I will say that Len’s (Swamp Thing Creator) editorial comments were annoying as hell and felt like he was treating the reader like they were too stupid to be reading the comic in the first place. Maybe I wouldn’t have felt that way back in the 80s, when you were waiting each month for the next issue, but my god, they should take that out now.

Too much story, for not so big a comic book

Reviewed in the United States on 12 June 2022

Verified Purchase

I am easily amused with almost any of DC, Marvel or any other comic content. This story just seemed to drag on little bit too much and seems as if the words are trying to tell more than the pages are showing. Definitely not worth a second reading after I finished it the first time!
