Stephen Bissette Libri

What Alan Moore, Stephen Bissette, and John Totleben accomplished during their time on the comic book series Swamp Thing shouldn't be underestimated in the history of comics and, specifically, the history of horror comics. The modern comics landscape has been changed by the Vertigo line of books--an imprint that traces its roots back to this version of Swamp Thing. By taking a horror character fully entrenched in a superhero world (as silly as that might seem), this creative team put a new face on horror comics and on horror in general. Swamp Thing: Love and Death is the second collection of the team's work on the series, presented here in full color. Don't let the mediocre Swamp Thing movies fool you, this book is filled with sophisticated suspense and terror. Collects issues #28–34 and Annual #2.

"Prepare yourself. Are you ready? Really? You’re sure? Then take a deep breath and get comfy, because this is Stephen R. Bissette. There are no half measures. This book goes wide and it goes deep… It ranges across the history and lineage of the genre in film and literature, what came before The Brood and what came after; it opens doors on David Cronenberg’s biography and the author’s too. It looks at how ideas in natural history, science, mythology and metaphysics influenced the times and culture in which The Brood was conceived, and into which it was then born. It explores disturbing elements of Canadian cultural and political history involving the systemic abuse and experimentation on orphan children in the name of science. It looks at cults and deprogramming; and takes a bold and heartfelt look at how trauma and abuse affects not only the victims, but the people who love them. Not to mention the unique production and distribution history of this most unusual family drama. If is fresh, it is unique, and it is relentless in exploring new terrain. Join us as we explore David Cronenberg’s The Brood"--Back cover

Některé komiksy fungují v žánru jako milník – a Sága o Bažináčovi je jedním z nich. Alan Moore si vzal staré a zapomenuté postavičky a vdechl jim nový život. A co víc, povedlo se mu vzkřísit hororový komiks, proti vůli cenzorů z CCA, pro něž byla kombinace nahoty, rozkládajících se zombií, incestu a nekrofilie příliš. Alec Holland uhořel, jeho duše však žije dál. Příběhy zeleného monstra se z akčních dobrodružství proměnily v atmosférické a ponuré horory, v „Sandmana z bažin“. Po zemi kráčí ďábel, dává lidem rady do života a na pomoc si z pekla povolal řadu mrtvých. A zlu se může postavit jedině bytost, která možná kdysi byla člověkem. Americký jih nikdy nebyl nejdokonalejším místem pro život – teď se však stává dokonalým místem pro smrt…
