The Animal Man Omnibus

Grant Morrison’s celebrated run on Animal Man is collected in this single hardcover omnibus from DC, spotlighting the writer’s boundary-pushing work with artist Chas Truog. The series follows animal-rights activist Buddy Baker, a minor superhero grappling with the grim realities of his powers and the very nature of comic-book existence. A landmark of late-1980s superhero storytelling, it’s remembered for its metafictional twists and heartfelt ecological themes.
