Swamp Thing (1982 2nd Series) #140

Part 1 of the 4-part 'Bad Gumbo': The entire Swamp Thing mythos is turned inside out when Dr. Alec Holland regains consciousness in a South American hospital, sweating and disoriented from a terrible nightmare in which he had shambled through swamps as the reigning Earth Elemental. Then he remembers the truth: He overdosed on organic hallucinogens during one of his experiments in plant chemistry and has been experiencing fever dreams ever since. Yet Holland can't shake the strange connection he feels to the silver-haired woman named Abigail Arcane...or to the savage, murderous Swamp Thing rumored to the rampaging through the Louisiana bayou, killing anyone who crosses his path.

Grant Morrison joins new SWAMP THING writer Mark Millar for the first story arc in the dynamic redefinition of this long-running, award-winning title. New penciller Phil Hester joins inker Kim DeMulder in supplying stunning art, while John Mueller delivers an eye-popping cover.
