Page "Swamp Thing" Paragraph 13

When Pasko had to give up work on the title due to increasing television commitments, editor Len Wein assigned the title to British writer Alan Moore.

When Karen Berger took over as editor, she gave Moore free rein to revamp the title and the character as he saw fit.

Moore reconfigured Swamp Thing's origin to make him a true monster as opposed to a human transformed into a monster.

In his first issue, he swept aside most of the supporting cast Pasko had introduced in his year-and-a-half run as writer, and brought the Sunderland Corporation to the forefront, as they hunted Swamp Thing and " killed " him in a hail of bullets.
