Bissette and John Totleben took the comics world by storm when they were given the reins of \u003ci\u003eSaga of Swamp Thin\u003c\/i\u003eg with issue #16. Alan Moore joined the series with #20, and in the issues that followed the trio completely reinvented \u003ci\u003eSwamp Thing\u003c\/i\u003e in what is considered to be the seminal horror comic of the 1980s. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eBissette’s masterful layouts were the perfect springboard for Totleben’s finely detailed pen-and-brushwork. Their artistic collaboration was stylishly unique and unlike anything that had come before in mainstream comics. Rick Veitch, a fellow Joe Kubert School alumnus, also provided art for the series, adding his own distinctive take on the tragic hero. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eArt is included from many issues between #16–73, including spectacular examples from “Anatomy Lesson,” “My Blue Heaven,” the “American Gothic” storyline, and many others. Additionally, the 10-page “Jack in the Green” story scripted by Neil Gaiman is presented in its entirety. There’s also a selection of gorgeous covers, sketches, and other extras. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e An introduction by Bissette and legendary editor Karen Berger offers keen insight into the artistic collaborations that brought these issues to vivid life. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAlthough appearing to be in black and white, all the art is scanned in color, enabling the reader to see the work as closely to the original as possible – ink gradients, blue pencil, and all the unique nuances that make original art so special – are all clearly visible and printed at the same size as drawn.","brand":"Simon and Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":51346570674401,"sku":"9781534341227","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0672\/0956\/0289\/files\/9781534341227.jpg?v=1793971472","url":"https:\/\/simon-and-schuster-dev.myshopify.com\/products\/9781534341227","provider":"Simon and Schuster Dev","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
