Synopsis:
Swamp Thing returns to Earth after his voyage in space. He seeks out the D.D.I. agents responsible for his "death" and kills each of them. Meanwhile, Abby Cable visits her ex-husband in the hospital where he is comatose. Chester Williams tracks her down and takes her out to the swamps. Chester finds tubers on the ground which he recognizes as Swamp Thing's. Swamp Thing then emerges from the ground to surprise Abby.
