The third volume is brimming with visceral horrors including underwater vampires, a werewolf with an unusual curse, the hideous madman called Nukeface. In this second collection, The Swamp Thing says goodbye to the illusion of his own humanity after learning that he is 100% plant, meets a crew of benevolent alien invaders inspired by the classic comic strip Pogo (also set in the swamp), and consummates his relationship with Abigail Arcane as only he could. Book One begins with the story 'The Anatomy Lesson,' a haunting origin story that reshapes Swamp Thing mythology with terrifying revelations that begin a journey of discovery and adventure that will take him across the stars and beyond. His provocative and groundbreaking writing, combined with masterly artwork by some of the medium s top artists, made Swamp Thing one of the great comics of the late twentieth century. Alan Moore took the Swamp Thing to new heights in the 1980s with his unique narrative approach. Created out of the Swamp by a freak accident, Swamp Thing is an elemental creature who uses the forces of nature and wisdom of the plant kingdom to fight the polluted world s self-destruction.

Her current work focuses on probing the intersection of queer and Muslim identities through a photo project entitled “Just Me and Allah: A Queer Muslim Photo Project.” Her recently published memoir, We Have Always Been Here: A Queer Muslim Memoir gifts the reader with a tale of (re)discovery centered around themes of family, sexuality, and spirituality.
