• The Item for sale is for one (1) copy of the comic book The Saga of the Swamp Thing No. 28  "The Burial"

The Swamp Thing is a fictional character created by Len Wein and Bernie Wrightson for DC Comics, and featured in a long-running horror-fantasy comic book series of the same name. The character is a humanoid mass of vegetable matter who fights to protect his swamp home, the environment in general, and humanity from various supernatural or terroristic threats. The series was continued by a number of writers, notably Alan Moore, whose reinvention of the character was particularly influential. Under his pen, the character became a psychologically complex creature immersed in an auto-referential journey to determine his capabilities, the degree of his "humanity", and his place in the world.

The creature, called Swamp Thing, was originally conceived as Alec Holland mutating into a vegetable-like creature, a "muck-encrusted mockery of a man". However, under writer Alan Moore, Swamp Thing was reinvented as an elemental entity created upon the death of Alec Holland, with Holland's memory and personality intact. He is described as "a plant that thought it was Alec Holland, a plant that was trying its level best to be Alec Holland."

Alan Moore's Swamp Thing had a profound effect on mainstream comic books, being the first horror comic to approach the genre from a literary point of view since the EC horror comics horror comics of the 1950's, and broadened the scope of the series to include ecological and spiritual concerns while retaining its horror-fantasy roots.

• Very Good is the top of the bottom. Comics in this grade and lower will start to see more and more wear. The Cover my have a large amount of wear including creases, fading, and discoloration. A better copy with a piece of the cover missing will fall into this category. Several minor tears, or one major tear are allowed.The cover may have a price sticker or date sticker.  The spine may be rolled. Spine Stress: Usually evident, and always allowed, unless the entire comic has been bent in half. Staples must be attached both at the outside and the centerfold or the comic becomes a "Good." The staples may have rust. The pages may be brown in color. A finer copy with a tear repaired with tape. May have minor printing defects. Overall: A very average used comic book.

• This is the most common grade from the 1970's and early 1980's. These comics have been read. Often, quite a lot. They show considerable wear and have many flaws. But they are firm, tight comic books. They are not significantly damaged in any way and are still a nice collectible, however, they are not considered "investment-grade."
