“Anatomy Lesson” is directed by Gilbert Adler and written by Kevin Rock. Billy Rabe (Jeremy London) is the son of a small-town coroner (Jim Metzler) who keeps wanting to kill things. However, he’s stopped over and over again by The Bearded Man (Jeff Fahey). When he turns 18, Billy decides to kill that person so that he can finally be the murderer he’s dreamed of becoming. There’s also Linda (Devon Odessa), a girl who is in love with him, but he just wants to watch her die.
Want to know what happens? The Bearded Man and Billy’s mom (Joanna Gleason) are robots who keep watch over killers on Earth. They’ve already taken out Jack the Ripper and the Zodiac, so now it’s Billy’s turn.

This episode isn’t based on an E.C. Comic story. However, the story “A Lesson in Anatomy!!” was in Weird Fantasy #12. The plot is sort of close. “Chased away from his father’s lab while he dissects a body, Stevey finds a stranger in the forest. Wanting to brag, Stevey tells the man all sorts of falsehoods, which he believes; But Stevey soon learns a secret about the stranger he doesn’t expect to discover.” It was written by William Gaines and Al Feldstein and drawn by Jack Kamen.
