Description: THE SAGA OF THE SWAMP THING box set.BOOK ONE is twelfth printing.BOOK TWO is tenth printing.BOOK THREE is tenth printing.BOOK FOUR is ninth printing.BOOK FIVE is eighth printing.BOOK SIX is seventh printing.(I don't know if these are consistently the printings that come with this set, but I doubt there are lower ones for this edition since the Black Label version (which may only present for the slipcase) is a newer one. As far as I would guess they just put together the most recent printings with the slipcase to make a set. All of which is not important since this makes a better read than collectible (just because it's such a great read).)Six trade paperbacks (six books total).In all collects Saga of the Swamp Thing (1982-1996 2nd Series) #s 20-64 (the entire Alan Moore run). "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. Created out of the Swamp by a freak accident, Swamp Thing is an elemental creature who uses the forces of nature and wisdom of the plant kingdom to fight the polluted world's self-destruction. Alan Moore took the Swamp Thing to new heights in the 1980s with his unique narrative approach. His provocative and groundbreaking writing, combined with masterly artwork by some of the medium's top artists, made Swamp Thing one of the great comics of the late twentieth century." I only read this recently, for the first time (this set was a gift, given knowing that I would sell it soon). It's as great as you've heard it is, and it's an essential read for any comics fan or even a lover of literature. This is even better as a set, with the slipcase. Would look great on any bookcase, and works even better as a read you won't want to end.My review: https://pulplegacy.blogspot.com/2024/08/waydown-240821.html If you need better pictures, let me know what detail you want to see and I’ll take a better one. I will combine orders! Win more than one lot and I’ll put them together and it’s less to ship and less for you to pay. Once all your auctions are done and you’re done bidding (and if it doesn't offer this automatically) I'll send you an invoice that will have the revised shipping. (It may take me a couple days if I’m not working on eBay listings when they close, but you can also send me a message to say that you’re done bidding and ready for them to be shipped.) Buy more to save more! I don’t mind waiting for payment if you’re buying more than one lot. I’m open to whatever form of shipping you want, and I can adjust the price by sending you an invoice. (I’ll send them via Media Mail if you don’t say otherwise, and by default I will send all orders to the same address if they can be combined.) I don’t have a business. I’m doing this to get rid of stuff I’ve had in storage for a while. It’s a lot of great stuff from my personal collection that I’ve loved over the years but it’s also a lot of stuff and it’s time. Usually I sell comics on here (a lot of from the late ‘80s to the early ‘00s). I'm just about finished with Dark Horse, Image, indies, Vertigo, mainstream DC & non-superhero Marvels, now it’s mainstream Marvels (next: Avengers & Avengers-related, including Black Panther, then later, Captain Americas, Spider-Mans, and lots of Daredevils) after that. I’m a reader so the runs I offer might be inconsistent by book, with single issues often replaced by a trade or collection, but it’s likely a full run to serve reading. Lately I've been packaging orders on Friday and sending them on Saturday. So if you pay over the weekend (after Friday evening), it might not get out for another week. But if there's some urgency and you need it right away, let me know and I can probably manage it. (Again, this is a side-hustle so I'm not always able to give it my full attention but I’ll do what I can.) I’ll consider best offers, especially if you want to buy more than one lot. If the formatting of the text in this box looks sloppy, it happened after I posted it. When I wrote this it all looked fine and consistent but eBay mangles it with HTML after. Hopefully you don't pay attention to these things (though thanks if you read this far), but I do and this is ghastly to me but I have too many of these to post to go over (and it shouldn't have changed in the first place). Let me know how you're liking the issues! Keep in touch!marlanharris dot com
