Animal Man #2

Animal Man stands front and center in his distinctive blue costume, his family huddled close behind him as a nightmarish menagerie of monstrous creatures looms from the shadows — a tense, visceral image that captures the series' blend of superhero action and creeping biological horror. Steve Pugh's cover work is confident and unsettling, surrounding the Baker family with grotesque beasts that press in from every angle, making the stakes feel immediate and personal. This 2013 Urban Comics French-language collection, subtitled *Contre-Nature*, delivers the kind of cover that earns a second look.
