The first issue of "volume two" of the Swamp Thing was written by the (late) Martin Pasko, and illustrated by Tom Yeates. I'm a fan of Moore's reinvention of the character, but after reading this story, Pasko probably deserves some credit for moving the series away from the "classic movie monster of the month" template and in a darker, grittier, direction. This issue also has a Phantom Stranger backup story written by Bruce Jones and drawn by Dan Spiegle.
I have some mixed feelings about this book. But, one thing is for sure. Alan Moore is a genius. What he did with such an average character is amazing.

Revised origin story for Swamp Thing takes up much of this issue. The remainder is very much standard misunderstood monster tales. The second story is a Phantom Stranger one shot. Good v evil. Corruption in religion. The Phantom Stranger steps in occasionally to save people from a direct threat but he is more a narrator, the people ultimately save themselves.
A new beginning, apparently revising a bit of Swamp Thing's history.
