Animal Man: Born to Be Wild #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects issues #20-26 of Grant Morrison's acclaimed run on Animal Man, concluding the story arc that began with the character's journey into self-awareness. In 'Born to Be Wild,' Buddy Baker confronts the nature of his own existence as a comic book character, facing off against the mysterious and powerful forces that have been manipulating his life. The collection features the iconic 'Coyote Gospel' storyline and marks a pivotal moment in Morrison's deconstruction of the superhero genre.
In "The Coma Kid," Animal Man awakens from a mysterious coma to find himself stranded in a surreal jungle that's somehow grown inside his own 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 issue blends surreal imagery with emotional depth as Animal Man returns to confront the Angel Mob—only to discover that even in the midst of chaos, there’s still a chance for redemption. Brian Bolland’s striking cover captures the eerie, dreamlike tone of the story.
In "A Nice Day for a Weird Wedding," Animal Man finds himself whisked into a prehistoric jungle—right from his bathroom—where he must team up with the enigmatic Nowhere Man to protect the President from the menacing Angel Mob. With surreal twists and signature weirdness, the story blends absurd humor and high-stakes tension in a way only this duo could pull off.
In "Rites of Passage," Animal Man, thought dead and presumed lost, awakens in the wilds of the jungle—his unexpected sanctuary a surreal twist of nature and memory. Nowhere Man's discovery sets off a journey back to the real world, where Animal Man must confront the Angel Mob not with force, but with the quiet power of connection and choice.
