Get the dirt on DC Comic’s premier supernatural hero, as we journey to the bayou to meet the Avatar of The Green himself, the Swamp Thing!

In the swamps of Louisiana, botanist Alec Holland is killed in an accident while working on a 'bio-restorative formula'. Fusing with his formula and the vegetation of the swamp, Alec is resurrected as a shambling humanoid mass of plant matter. Together with his girlfriend, the mad scientist's daughter Abigail Arcane, Alec protects the environment and fights supernatural threats as the Swamp Thing.
