Animal Man #31

In "Rites Of Passage," Animal Man confronts a surreal twist when he learns the dead version of himself is alive—and not in the world he remembers, but in a strange, jungle-like bathroom. Written by Peter Milligan and illustrated by Chas Truog, with inks by Mark Farmer, colors by Tatjana Wood, and letters by John Costanza, this pivotal 1991 issue sees Animal Man return to the real world to face the Angel Mob, leading to a tense, unexpected moment of resolution. The cover, a striking piece by Brian Bolland, captures the story’s eerie, dreamlike tone.
