Swamp Thing: Saga of the Swamp Thing (Book One)

Alan Moore · DC Comics · 1987

The true first appearances are the individual comic issues: Alan Moore's run begins with The Saga of the Swamp Thing #20 (1984), and #21 'The Anatomy Lesson' is the landmark issue. This 1987 trade paperback collects #21-27 and is a first-thus collection, not the true first appearance of the material.
