I am thinking about the old man. I am thinking about the cracking of his joints as he runs. I am thinking of the terror in his ancient, atrophied heart.

Synopsis for "The Anatomy Lesson"

This story is reprinted from Swamp Thing Vol 2 #21.

Notes

This issue is also reprinted in Best of DC #61, Essential Vertigo: Swamp Thing #1, Saga of the Swamp Thing: Book One trade paperback, and the Vertigo: First Taste trade paperback.

Although General Sunderland dies in this issue, he does in fact make a return appearance as a denizen of Hell in Swamp Thing Vol 2 #72.

Reference is made to Linda Holland in this issue. Sunderland reveals that his company exhumed Linda's corpse, and examined it for traces of Alec's Bio-Restorative formula.

A reference to Liz Tremayne is made in this issue.

Trivia

The splash page for this issue contains a bi-sected outline of a human body with the words "The Anatomy Lesson" placed between the sections. This is stylistically similar to the opening title card of the 1956 movie, Anatomy of a Murder.
