Anatomy Lesson by Alan Moore and Steve Bissette is a classic in the field of commercial comic book storytelling. Taking a relatively ignored character, though one that most people seemed to know, and utterly transforming his nature. "Things will never be the same again" is encapsulated in this comic, for better or for worse.
It is revealed that Swamp Thing is not a plant-transformed Alec Holland, but merely the memories of Holland absorbed by plants and transformed by chemicals into a mockery of his old life.
Alec Holland is dead, Swamp Thing is just an organic flash drive. He doesn't take it well.
