Thanks to Joe Bongiorno, who first dragged me kicking and screaming into the mucky mythos of Swamp Thing, and to Paul Giachetti, who created the amazing header banner.

Thanks also to reader 'Alec Holland,' whose support has been invaluable; Mike Sterling, for promoting Swamp Thing and this site; and Kevin Church, for his excellent optimization advice.

And thanks to Len Wein, Bernie Wrightson, Alan Moore, John Totelben, Stephen Bissette, Jamie Delano, Garth Ennis and all the other creators whose work inspired this site.

Swamp Thing TV Series, Vol. 3Shout! Factory has made Volume Three of Swamp Thing: The Series available for order online, as part of its Shout! Select line.

Swamp Thing TV Series, Volunes 1-3Here's what the company has to say on its website: "The final chapter of Swamp Thing: The Series finally comes to DVD! When Dr. Alec Holland is left for dead, the victim of deadly sabotage, he is transformed by the swamp and the very chemicals meant to kill him into a creature now struggling with the balance between his own vengeance and protecting those who can’t protect themselves. The incredible adventures of the Swamp Thing continue in this 4-DVD set containing the final 24 episodes of the series’ 50-episode third season. Basing the series on the legendary DC Comics character, the USA Network commissioned a total of 72 episodes of this cult favorite that aired between 1990–93. Starring Dick Durock (reprising his title role from the popular Swamp Thing feature films), Mark Lindsay Chapman and Carrell Myers, Swamp Thing: The Series follows the tortured creature that was once a man on his quest to regain the humanity that was taken from him, purging the swamp of evildoers along the way."

The Volume Three boxset will be released on June 22, 2010, at a price of $34.99, plus shipping and handling. The company is also offering a bundle of all three DVD volumes, containing the complete 72-episode series.
