The legend of Swamp Thing continues here! He was an elemental embodiment of the world’s plants-the spirit of all her marshes, bogs and fens.

So is the beautiful woman who loved him, the danger she now faces and the terrible vengeance of the power he once served-the gods of field and forest known as the Parliament of Trees.
