It took us 48 years since the character’s creation, but we are finally getting the proper horror-oriented Swamp Thing show we deserve.įrom the opening scene, showrunners Gary Dauberman ( It) and Mark Verheiden ( Daredevil, Constantine) want you to know theirs is a different version of the swamp. On the comic book side, The Saga of the Swamp Thing was the first mainstream comic book series to abandon the Comics Code Authority’s approval in favor of a mature, dark and horror-oriented legendary run.ĭespite its heavy roots in the horror genre, the titular Swamp Thing was rather campy, including starring in an animated TV series that had a cover of The Troggs’ Wild Thing that just changed the word ‘Wild’ for ‘Swamp’ and called it a day.

Swamp Thing may not be as popular as Batman, but the vegetable monstrosity has always been at the forefront of comic book milestones.
