Animal Man #28

Animal Man throws a haymaker at a long-haired man in a ornate military-style jacket amid a chaotic bar brawl, while a ghostly pale figure lurks in the background — and the whole scene is gleefully framed by newspaper headlines screaming about "Buddy Baker in Barroom Brawl!" and "Bloodbath." Peter Milligan takes the writing reins from Grant Morrison with Chas Truog and Mark Farmer on interiors, while Brian Bolland delivers a cover that turns tabloid sensationalism into a striking visual joke. It's a sharp, energetic entry in DC's 1990 lineup that makes clear this series hasn't lost any of its edge or wit.
