Millennium Edition: The Saga of the Swamp Thing No. 21 #[nn]
In "The Anatomy Lesson," Alan Moore, Stephen Bissette, and John Totleben deliver a chilling exploration of identity and memory, as General Sunderland commissions Jason Woodrue to dissect the truth behind Swamp Thing’s transformation. What begins as a clinical inquiry spirals into a haunting revelation: the creature’s sense of self may be built on a lie. Tom Yeates’ cover captures the eerie tension of the moment, as the line between man and monster blurs.
