BORN IN THE BAYOU! The saga of one of DC's most transformative characters begins here! Rising up from the dark and murky imaginations of writer Len Wein and artist Bernie Wrightson, the tragic and heroic figure of the Swamp Thing shambles into comics readers' hearts through the gothic pages of these legendary Bronze Age tales. DC Finest: Swamp Thing: The Man Who Would Not Die collects all of Swampy's muck-encrusted stories from The House of Secrets #92, Swamp Thing #1-22, The Phantom Stranger #14, The Brave and the Bold #122, The House of Secrets #140, and the historic Patchwork Man tale Night of the Rat, originally intended for publication in The House of Secrets #141.
