Animal Man #19

Jan 1990 · DC · 1.50 USD; 1.85 CAD; 0.80 GBP
“A New Science of Life”

In "A New Science of Life," Grant Morrison and Chas Truog dive into Animal Man’s psyche with a haunting vision that brings him face-to-face with the original version of himself from Strange Adventures—only to confront the weight of his own legacy. As Buddy returns from the dream, he’s drawn back to the heart of his deepest sorrow, where the line between memory and reality blurs. Brian Bolland’s striking cover captures the eerie, introspective tone of this pivotal moment in the series.
