In this episode, Chris welcomes Adam who is the showrunner for the YouTube Original show,
“Escape the Night” (in its 4 th Season) and creator of the comic book “The Eighth” to look at the
first volume of one of his favorite comic book arcs, “Saga of the Swamp Thing”. Writer Alan
Moore with pencilers Stephen Bissette and John Totleben begin their storied run on the
title where in just 7 issues they would forever re-define the character of Swamp Thing.
Before Watchmen, Alan Moore made his debut in the U.S. comic book industry with the
revitalization of the horror comic book The Swamp Thing. His deconstruction of the
classic monster stretched the creative boundaries of the medium and became one of
the most spectacular series in comic book history. With modern-day issues explored
against a backdrop of horror, The Swamp Thing stories became commentaries on
environmental, political and social issues, unflinching in their relevance. Book one
(Issues #20-27) begins with the story "The Anatomy Lesson," a haunting origin story
that reshapes Swamp Thing mythology with terrifying revelations that begin a journey of
discovery and adventure that will take him across the stars and beyond.
