“The Secret Origin of Man-Bat”

DC's long-running Secret Origins anthology turns its spotlight on two fan-favorite heroes in this 1989 double feature, spotlighting Animal Man and Man-Bat. Mike W. Kaluta's cover art makes an immediate impression: a fearsome, winged Man-Bat clutches a struggling blond figure in a blue and orange costume against a stark moonlit background, the tension between the two figures crackling with menace. Inside, Grant Morrison, Tom Grummett, and Doug Hazlewood bring their talents to bear on Man-Bat's origin story — a compelling reason to pick this one up.
