Colección Vertigo #264
Primer volumen de la serie Animal Man dentro de la Colección Vértigo de Norma Editorial, que recoge los primeros números del cómic original. Escrito por Grant Morrison y dibujado por Chaz Truog y Doug Hazlewood, esta etapa redefine al personaje de Buddy Baker, un superhéroe de segunda fila que comienza a conectar con la fuerza vital animal, explorando temas de ecología, conciencia y metaficción. La colección marca el inicio de una de las obras más aclamadas de Morrison dentro del sello Vértigo de DC Comics.
"El Zoo Humano" delivers a striking, character-driven moment in the Animal Man saga, with Grant Morrison and Ernest Riera crafting a story where Animal Man confronts the aftermath of B'Wana Beast’s transformation, healing his anthrax poisoning and restoring the fused animals. Chas Truog’s expressive art, refined by Doug Hazlewood’s inks and Tatjana Wood’s subtle colors, brings emotional weight to the encounter, while Brian Bolland’s cover captures the eerie, surreal tone of the issue.
In "El Zoo Humano," Animal Man returns to action when the S.T.A.R. Labs in San Diego summons him to investigate a theft at a facility developing a groundbreaking AIDS vaccine. With the stakes high and secrets buried in the lab’s experiments, Buddy Baker must navigate a world where science and the unknown blur.
In "La Jungla de Asfalto," Animal Man ventures into the urban wilderness chasing a giant insect escaped from S.T.A.R. Labs—only to confront a humanoid rat instead. Meanwhile, Ellen and Maxine stumble upon the hunters Ray and Lew, as the city itself begins to feel less like a metropolis and more like a hidden, shifting jungle.
In "La Naturaleza de la Bestia," B'Wana Beast breaks into the S.T.A.R. Labs to free Djuba, while Animal Man uncovers unsettling truths about the scientists' experiments. Meanwhile, Ellen narrowly escapes deadly hunters, saved by a hero she never expected.
In "Cuando Vivíamos en el Bosque," Animal Man crosses paths with B'Wana Beast while tending to the aftermath of a deadly anthrax poisoning. As the two confront the consequences of B'Wana Beast’s past experiments, Animal Man confronts Dr. Myers—only to leave with a quiet resolve, while B'Wana Beast quietly begins to plot his own reckoning.
