Swamp Thing, Vol. 5 by Alan Moore

A lush, horror-tinged tale in which a plant-based elemental grapples with what it means to be human as it defends the natural world from both supernatural menaces and human corruption; intimate relationships, especially a tragic romance, and confrontations with grotesque enemies push the protagonist through identity, memory, and moral crises, while the narrative blends political satire, body-horror imagery, and mythic ecology into a profound meditation on life, loss, and responsibility to the living green.
