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.

In some parts, the art is quite fascinating and remarkable. There was some confusion about some of the characters for me, even with the help of Alan Moore's introduction. (Floronic Man, basically.) I found certain parts of the story unbelievable or uncharacteristic (despite not reading a lot of the other DC world comics), and some quite cliche. It does leave on a cliff-hanger regarding one character that makes me wish the library had more than this one volume of The Swamp Thing.
