Animal Man #79

A blazing figure with vivid red wings ascends from a radiant burst of golden light on Peter Kuper's striking cover for this January 1995 Vertigo issue, while a crowd of outstretched hands and silhouetted birds reach upward from below — an image that pulses with desperate longing and spiritual intensity. "Promised Land" is a title that carries real weight alongside that imagery, and with Jamie Delano writing and Steve Pugh on interior art, this late run of Animal Man continues to push into rich, thought-provoking territory.
