"I can still remember the feeling of shock with which I read 'Love and Death' [...] This was the first comic-book horror I had seen that actually horrified me; I became hooked, discovering with amazement that comics had the same capacity to disturb and unsettle that the best prose and film had. [...] 'Love and Death' also made comics history as, beginning with this issue, The Saga of the Swamp Thing became the first DC comic with newsstand distribution to go out on a monthly basis without the Comics Code Authority's seal of approval. [...] It is to DC's credit that, from this point on, rather than trying to tone down the title they chose to put it out without the Code's seal instead."
--Neil Gaiman, Introduction to Titan (UK) reprint ed., 1987

Alan Moore is quite a popular writer these days with major motion pictures and all, so it's feasible fans of his graphic novels might want to check out Swamp Thing.

In fact the title of the first issue of Swamp Thing, "Loose Ends", reflects this. Earlier editions of the first TPB resolved this problem by simply not including issue, however this isn't a very good solution because some of these "loose ends" return latter in the run. Seeing as the issues leading up to Moore's run were never collected, I think it's fair to post them here.
