New year, new us! The boys are back and wanted things to feel fresh and new. That's why we decided to talk about a book from the 80s... so young and hot! We're heading deep into Louisiana, getting our hands dirty, and taking on a whole new beast in Alan Moore's Saga of the Swamp Thing. So throw some moss in your face, grab the best fireworks money can buy, and let's bring in the New Year right. Cheers!-Drink of the Night-Book of the Month-Next Time...

This week on Swamp Thing Radio Carolyn and Wendy breakdown the ninth episode of the DC Universe's Swamp Thing Series, titled "The Anatomy Lesson" This is the episode fans of Alan Moore's Saga of the Swamp Thing have been waiting for. Swamp Thing learns the truth of his identity and Jason Woodrue proves what a monster he truly is. Avery calls for another character from the comics to help him regain control. And Dan Cassidy's character turns sharply from his comic roots to the roots of another DC magic character with strong ties to Swamp Thing.

Alan Moore's Saga of the Swamp Thing may be the single most recommended comics arc for new comic readers coming to the medium as an adult. It is often referred to as "The Day that Comics Grew Up" (at least that is what Wendy calls it). Entire college courses could be (and probably have been) taught on Saga of the Swamp Thing. You can see its influence ripple throughout the industry and influence other great works like Niel Gaiman's Sandman. In this episode, Carolyn and Wendy will be introducing you to Alan Moore and how he came to write Swamp Thing after Len Wein and then they will take you through his first arc centered around some game-changing revelations about our favorite much monster and the madness of Jason Woodrue On this very important episode Carolyn and Wendy will be covering: The Importance of Allan Moore's Saga of the Swamp Thing to the Comics Industry A brief background on the early life of Allan Moore How Len Wein hand picked Moore to write his baby How Allan Moore introduced concepts that formed the basis for DC's modern concept of magic An in-depth look at Saga of the Swamp Thing #21 (February 1984) -  The Anatomy Lesson Saga of the Swamp Thing #22 (March 1984) -  Swamped Saga of the Swamp Thing #23 (April 1984) -  Another Green World Saga of the Swamp Thing #21 (May 1984) -  Roots We will cover concepts like the perception of reality dealing with trauma environmentalism in ways you may not expect the beginnings of the evolution of Abby Arcane And you will learn everything you never wanted to know about Planarian Worms In the episode, we promised a few links to interesting reading material This is a great interview with Alan Moore, Len Wein and Karen Berger on how Allan Moore took over the book and what he had planned for it. 1985 Interview with Alan Moore Part I - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJlZUpgXQJI 1985 Interview with Alan Moore Part II -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ze3rCvyiISA 1985 Interview with Alan Moore Part III -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Emi-TqzF80 1985 Interview with Alan Moore Part IV -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpYPOfv08F8 1985 Interview with Alan Moore Part V -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gIrDgIKpas The quote from Len Wein about his first phone call to Alan Moore can be found in Alan Moore: Portrait of an Extraordinary Gentleman, published in 2003 by Abiogenesis LOGLINE: When CDC researcher Abby Arcane returns to her childhood home of Houma, Louisiana, in order to investigate a deadly swamp-borne virus, she develops a surprising bond with scientist Alec Holland—only to have him tragically taken from her.

This week Matt joins Bruce to discuss DC's top demonologist and mystic, John Constantine. First appearing as a mysterious figure in the pages of Alan Moore's Saga of the Swamp Thing, Constantine went on to star in his own very succesful and long running Hellblazer comic under the Vertigo imprint. He made enemies in the underworld in a gambit to cure his lung cancer, then later convinced God it was in the best interest of Heaven if his soul never goes to hell. Able to outsmart demons and angels alike, Constantine seems to bring nothing but death and suffering to those who get close to him. This episode contains no explicit language, but does discuss sensitive subject matter that may not be suitable for young children. Parental discretion advised.
