Některé komiksy fungují v žánru jako milník – a Sága o Bažináčovi je jedním z nich. Alan Moore si vzal staré a zapomenuté postavičky a vdechl jim nový život. A co víc, povedlo se mu vzkřísit hororový komiks, proti vůli cenzorů z CCA, pro něž byla kombinace nahoty, rozkládajících se zombií, incestu a nekrofilie příliš. Alec Holland uhořel, jeho duše však žije dál. Příběhy zeleného monstra se z akčních dobrodružství proměnily v atmosférické a ponuré horory, v „Sandmana z bažin“. Po zemi kráčí ďábel, dává lidem rady do života a na pomoc si z pekla povolal řadu mrtvých. A zlu se může postavit jedině bytost, která možná kdysi byla člověkem. Americký jih nikdy nebyl nejdokonalejším místem pro život – teď se však stává dokonalým místem pro smrt…
