About the series

Under the Vertigo imprint, this 2012–2014 series reimagined Animal Man as a dark, ecological horror story. Written by Jeff Lemire, with moody art from Jae Lee, Rafael Albuquerque, and Steve Pugh, the four-issue run follows Buddy Baker as his connection to the animal kingdom becomes a terrifying, world-ending burden. It stands as a taut, self-contained chapter in the character's history, exploring the cost of power and the fragility of nature.
