Beginning with the incredible story "Anatomy Lesson", this is really Alan Moore's masterpiece. His Swamp Thing is a vegetable who becomes wonderously alive, passionate and intriguing. This is a great first part and introtroduction to the ground breaking series that established Moore and the art by Steve Bisstte and John Totleban is incredible, remniscent of underground comics, yet alive to the possiblity of horror. A great series.
