Swamp Thing: The Flowers of Romance

[alicemacher]

"After [the Arcane Apocalypse story] I'd like to pick up on Liz and Dennis for a very down-to-earth non-supernatural horror story about just what Dennis has done with Liz in his efforts to keep her as his property and one true love. I've got an utterly sickening true story that I can use as a basis for this, something that happened to a remote relative of mine, and which I heard about through my favourite aunt who had picked up the pieces afterwards."

So wrote Alan Moore to Stephen Bissette in August 1983. For whatever reason, that story didn't, of course, immediately follow the "Arcane possesses Matt" arc. Moore revisited it when, according to Bissette, he found himself with writer's block after completing two extra-sized Swamp Thing issues just a few months apart, in addition to his other commitments. What resulted is, despite the disturbing subject matter, one of my favourite issues from his run on the title.

Warning for domestic abuse and misogyny.

Red made her way through the streets of Portland.

She'd come back for revenge on those who'd taken her away.

She arrived at where she last remembered her mother and sister living, and found them gone.

She went looking for them.

She found that her mother'd died of sickness, and that her sister'd buried her as well.

Later in the day, the sun setting, she confronted one of the two men who'd taken her.

( She broke into his rooms. )
