Animal Man by Grant Morrison 30th Anniversary Deluxe Edition Book One

�Morrison told the story of a kind-hearted, vegetarian hero who loses his family and is pushed to the brink of insanity before confronting his author in the run�s extraordinarily meta finale.� �Rolling Stone �Grant Morrison overhauled Animal Man in a typically imaginative manner.� �Entertainment Weekly �Morrison quickly became the hottest writer in the industry.� �Complex Magazine Buddy Baker, a.k.a. �the Man with Animal Powers,� is a second-rate superhero, devoted father and animal activist. There isn�t much money in the hero game, and with a wife and kids to support, Buddy soon finds himself torn between trying to make a living through traditional super-heroics and getting more deeply involved in the questionably legal world of animal rights activism. But in today�s world, with real-life issues, who really needs Animal Man�s protection? Is it humankind or the animals? Or is it Buddy himself? From the Eisner Award-winning and New York Times best-selling writer Grant Morrison comes one of his earliest, now classic, works exploring the nature of reality itself through the lens of a down-on-his-luck family-man superhero. This first of two 30th Anniversary Deluxe Edition hardcovers collects Animal Man #1-13, the character�s dimension-spanning creation tale from Secret Origins #39 and an introduction by Grant Morrison.
