Overview
One of legendary comics writer Grant Morrison's earliest works took a forgotten DC Comics hero and reimagined him in a stunning, postmodern series—with the groundbreaking first half now back in print!
From one of the greatest storytellers of their generation, Grant Morrison's Animal Man took a forgotten DC Comics character and reimagined him in a groundbreaking, postmodern series that redefined what was possible in superhero comics.
Buddy Baker, a.k.a. "The Man with Animal Powers," is a second-rate superhero, devoted father, and animal activist. There isn’t much money in the hero game, and with a wife and kids to support, Buddy soon finds himself torn between trying to make a living through traditional super-heroics and getting more deeply involved in the questionably legal world of animal rights activism. But in today’s world with real-life issues, who really needs Animal Man’s protection? Is it humankind or the animals? Or is it Buddy himself?
From the Eisner Award-winning and New York Times bestselling writer Grant Morrison and Eisner Award-nominated artist Chaz Truog, with inker Doug Hazlewood, comes one of the author's earliest, now classic, works exploring the nature of reality itself through the lens of a down-on-his-luck family-man superhero.
This first of two trade paperback editions collects Animal Man #1-13, the character’s dimension-spanning creation tale from Secret Origins #39, and an introduction by Grant Morrison.
