I recently picked up a copy of Swamp Thing vol 2 #34 and absolutely loved it. Moore did a damn good job.

But since this was my first time reading Swamp Thing, I dove in kind of uninformed about the entire back story. Has anybody ever read the earlier comics? Are they worth reading and what should I know about the origin story?

I've never read that one at all.  While I was into comics, I mostly read Conan Saga, Savage Sword of Conan, and old X-Men and Punisher comics.  I was into the NOW Comics Terminator series for a while too, which had pretty amazing artwork, and even better stories.

I was only ever a casual comic fan; I still have my old Conan Saga books which are probably valuable these days, but I really have no idea.
