LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA …. “The swamp is my world. It is who I am; it is what I am. I was once a man. I know the evil men do. Do not bring your evil here, I warn you.” Beware the wrath of Swamp Thing! Enter into a mind-bending world where a humanoid mass of plant matter comes to life and fights evil in the swamp, protecting the environment and humanity from the supernatural and evil threats that dare enter the swamp. On July 15, 2008, Shout! Factory will unleash the DVD box set of Swamp Thing: The Series Volume 2. This live action series is packed with the first 25 suspenseful episodes from Season 3 of the cult TV series. Swamp Thing fans demanded more and here it is, the 4-DVD box set of Swamp Thing: The Series Vol. 2 is priced for everyone to own at $39.99.



When an attempt on Dr. Alec Holland’s life leaves him consumed by deadly chemicals and fire, the swamps of Louisiana transform him into a superhuman creature hell-bent on ridding the swamp—and the world—of the evil that men do, beginning with his arch nemesis, Dr. Anton Arcane, the mad scientist responsible for Holland’s monstrous new incarnation as Swamp Thing.



Inspired by and based on the DC Comics character, Swamp Thing has become a major, recognized brand through comic books, film and television. Starring Dick Durock (reprising his title role from the popular Swamp Thing feature films), Mark Lindsay Chapman, and Carrell Myers, Swamp Thing, the original television series that ran on USA Network from1990-93, follows the tortured creature that was once a man and his quest to regain the humanity that was taken from him, purging the swamp of evildoers along the way.
