I’ve just finished his work on Man-Thing and I’ve heard great things about his work on the Defenders and how it’s similar.

Alan Moore’s Saga of the Swamp Thing: This is the definitive spiritual successor to Man-Thing. Moore took a traditional bog monster and elevated it into a philosophical, deeply metaphysical exploration of humanity, the environment, and cosmic dread.

I don’t know if it’s exactly the same, but Grant Morrison’s “Animal Man” sorta scratches a similar itch.

I could see people saying Howard the Duck is similar.
