Though he once wielded the combined power of all the Earth's
elemental forces, the creature known as Swamp Thing has renounced
his omnipotence and returned to his original status as the
avatar of the Green - the web of energy connecting all of
the world's plant life. But the sacrifice has left him fragmented
and vulnerable - a state which his oldest enemy is now ready
to exploit. Proving that not even Hell itself can contain
the pure malice of his soul, Arcane is about to break out
of his eternal damnation into the world of the living - and
his designs for revenge threaten to sink not only the Swamp
Thing and his family but everything else under the sun into
a never-ending nightmare of corruption and despair...
Love
in Vain is
a crackingly good Swamp Thing collection. It's got
everything a good horror movie would be proud of - sick monsters,
reanimated corpses and beautiful damsels (of a sort). And,
if you're not impressed by the interdimensional snake that
has attached itself to a travelling evangelist, then you have
no sense of humour.

Dysart twisted little tale is brought kicking and screaming
to life by Enrique Breccia's very sick illustrations - I really
wouldn't want to see what these two weirdoes do for fun! Not
only will Swamp Thing fans love this graphic novel,
but anyone who is of a twisted persuasion will find much to
interest them between the pages.
It
also helps that this collection has some of the finest grade
glossy pages and a great repro job.
My
only slight moan is that I could have read twice as many pages
and still have come away wanting more... more... more! A very
worthy edition to the Swamp Thing stable.
