![]() ![]() ![]() One of the biggest selling points is issue #20 itself, as it was never collected in the older paperbacks. Make no mistake, the stories contained within hold up as well as ever. Unfortunately, I'm not entirely convinced I should let it. Saga of the Swamp Thing, Book 1 has been delayed over and over again, but it's finally here and ready to claim a spot on my shelf. So imagine my delight upon learning that DC planned to finally revisit these landmark issues in a new series of hardcovers. Moore's issues are only available as a set of flimsy paperbacks, with newsprint-quality paper and no real extras to speak of. But poor Swamp Thing has been ignored for these past 25 years. Most of these books sport revamped coloring and a thick section of bonus material. ![]() Batman: The Killing Joke is now available as a Deluxe Edition hardcover, and Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow is due for a similar treatment. Both Watchmen and LoEG have been reprinted as Absolute Editions, with V for Vendetta to follow later this year. Much of Moore's work is available in a series of very nice hardcovers. The reason I've never purchased the trades is that I don't find them to be worthy reproductions. I think that's a bit of a stretch, but it's easily one of the best things Moore has written over the years. There are some who will claim it to be superior even to Watchmen. ![]() Moore's run on this series is another of the true classics of the genre. ![]()
