Family, identity, and the supernatural intertwine in a darker, more unsettling take on Animal Man in the complete, critically acclaimed run from Jamie Delano and Steve Pugh, now collected as an omnibus.

Written by Jamie Delano and illustrated by Steve Pugh, this collection brings together their complete run on Animal Man for the first time in one volume; an acclaimed and influential chapter that developed a dedicated following for its darker, more literary approach to the character.
