Classic DC horror stories return to print, in this second collection of Swamp Thing comics written and drawn by legendary comics creator Rick Veitch! Rick Veitch originally joined DC's seminal Swamp Thing series as an artist during writer Alan Moore's game-changing run, bringing to life some of the most inventive horror and fantasy concepts ever seen in mainstream comics. Following Moore's departure, Veitch took over as both writer and artist, continuing the revered creative legacy of Swamp Thing, and adding elements of time travel and metaphysics to one of the most unique comics of its era. This volume collects more of Veitch's run, following the previously released Swamp Thing by Rick Veitch Book One, including Swamp Thing #74-79; Swamp Thing Annual #4; Hellblazer #6-12; Swamp Thing Annual #4; and material from Who's Who Update 1988 #3-4.
