Animal Man #83

This Vertigo-era entry in the long-running Animal Man series presents a genuinely unsettling cover by Rick Berry: a powerfully built, bare-chested figure dominates the composition, flanked by primates — one pressed close at his side, another baring its teeth — while a judge's gavel looms ominously overhead, setting a tone of courtroom dread with a wild, primal edge. The "Monkey Trial" subtitle, part three of the "Wild Type" arc, hints at themes where civilization and the animal world collide in uncomfortable ways. Writer Jerry Prosser, artist Fred Harper, and inker Jason Temujin bring their collaborative vision to one of DC/Vertigo's most thoughtful superhero titles from 1995.
