Animal Man #85

From DC's Vertigo imprint in 1995, this issue of Animal Man opens the "Anima Mundi" arc with a story titled "The Ant Mystic," courtesy of Prosser, Harper, and Temujin. Rick Berry's painted cover — a luminous, unsettling skull half-submerged in a dark liquid against a scorched, cavernous backdrop — sets a mood that's as meditative as it is eerie. It's a striking piece of Vertigo atmosphere that signals something genuinely strange and psychologically rich waiting inside.
