I read this recently. It's definitely worth a read. Swamp Thing is not your normal comic-book hero by any measure, and Alan Moore has a lot to say about what it means to be human in there. That said, there was also a lot in there that I didn't really get, partly because I didn't read any pre-Moore "Swamp Thing", and partly because I'm unfamiliar with a lot of the DC comic pantheon.
Gotta say though - the episode "Pog" is just a beautiful piece of literary art; especially if you are old like me, and are familiar with the "Pogo" comic strip. Genius.
If you can't afford it, do like I did and get it from your local library.
