From Alan Moore's classic Swamp Thing in the pre-Vertigo days of the mid-Eighties.
Chester finds a strange root that has dropped off of the Swamp Thing, and he shares it with two different people. It has two very different effects.
This was a very good self-contained story, with the title character really appearing only in the opening sequence, and all of the focus on the character of Chester, as the discovery he makes forces him to look inward and to ask some very difficult questions.
Great issue for character development, and some awesome visuals as well.
Rating: 8.5/10
