ABOUT

Spellbinding Swamp Thing tales from superstar writer Mark Millar and acclaimed artist Phil Hester are back in print, and collected in the omnibus format for the first time!
Before Mark Millar was the superstar writer behind Kick-Ass, Wanted, and Kingsman, some of his first high-profile work in comics was more than 30 issues of DC/Vertigo’s Swamp Thing, following the seminal work of writers like Alan Moore and Nancy A. Collins.  

In this run, Millar was joined by Phil Hester, one of the most celebrated artists in comics, also in an early point in his career. Hester subsequently gained renown for his work on Green Arrow, Firebreather, The Irredeemable Ant-Man, and more.  

This formative work from two of the medium’s top creators returns in Swamp Thing by Mark Millar and Phil Hester Omnibus, collecting their full run on the series in the omnibus format, along with a slew of extras!
This volume collects Swamp Thing (vol. 2) #140-171, with a brand-new introduction by Hester, a brand-new afterword by Millar, and a gallery of never-before-seen behind-the-scenes artwork.

STANDARD, PRIMARY, DM AND VARIANT COVERS

Standard and Primary covers are widely available through general retailers. They often have higher print runs and can be cheaper, especially during sales.

In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.

The main differences lie in artwork style, availability, price, and collector appeal. Ultimately, the choice between standard and variant covers depends on personal preference, budget, and individual collecting goals.
