Saga of the Swamp Thing was a genuinely terrifying horror comic whose stories dealt with supernatural horrors such as werewolves, vampires, and zombies, but also handled the real-world monsters of nuclear waste mismanagement, domestic abuse, and the legacy of racism haunting a Louisiana plantation. It was revealed that the titular monster (known as Alex Holland) was not a human who'd changed form, but was in fact a plant elemental who'd absorbed the consciousness of the dead human scientist of that name. In the second issue Moore wrote, the character lay on an operating table where he was literally and existentially dissected.

Swamp Thing creator Len Wein actually called Alan Moore at his home in England to ask the young British writer to take over the character. This was the comic that brought Alan Moore onto the scene of American comics.
