SWAMP THING: AMERICAN GOTHIC - The Dark Heart of a Nation Uncovered

An analysis of Alan Moore's "Swamp Thing" 14-issue story arc "American Gothic" and Moore's exploration of societal issues in the United States through classical horror icons, his expansion of Swamp Thing's mythos through the Parliament of Trees, and his rumination on the relationship of good and evil through a massive climax in Hell.
