My final video on Alan Moore's Saga of the Swamp Thing run, covering issues 51 - 64 and discussing his final arcs of Swamp Thing in Gotham, Swamp Thing in Space, and Return of the Good Gumbo, with a focus on how Moore's story of Abby's trial over her relationship with Swamp Thing reflects the LGBTQ community in '80s America, how Swamp Thing's travels through space works as a sci-fi version of Homer's Odyssey, and how Moore and artist Rick Veitch close out their time through a love story between Swamp Thing and Abby.
