Perdition is a fictional town in the DC Universe which first appeared in Swamp Thing Vol 1 #8 "The Lurker in Tunnel 13".
Background[]
Perdition is a mining community located in Pennsylvania's Appalachian Mountains. In 1904, the mystical spellbook Visions of a Dead Priest was discovered by Abraham Monroe, which ended up opening a doorway that gave M'nagalah access to Earth. M'nagalah took up residence in one of the town's mine shafts, Tunnel 13, and the town experienced a reign of terror that lasted for over 70 years. At one point, the townspeople attempted to use the Swamp Thing as a sacrifice.
