Animal Man by Tom Veitch and Steve Dillon Omnibus

Where the instincts of the wild meet the fractures of the human mind.

What happens when your powers betray you, your family doesn’t recognize you, and you might have eaten a horse? Welcome to Tom Veitch and Steve Dillon’s Animal Man—a hallucinatory plunge into altered states, CIA cover-ups, and primal rage.
