Before he revitalized The New X-Men, before breathing new life into the JLA, and before creating the uniquely subversive THE INVISIBLES, writer Grant Morrison (THE FILTH) wowed audiences with his groundbreaking work on ANIMAL MAN. His 26-issue run on that title is still discussed today, and now the second collection of ANIMAL MAN is being made available this July. ANIMAL MAN: ORIGIN OF THE SPECIES is a 224-page VERTIGO trade paperback collecting issues #10-17 of Morrison's run, and also includes the 19-page story from SECRET ORIGINS #39. Featuring art by Chas Truog, Tom Grummett, Doug Hazlewood, Steve Montano, and Mark McKenna, ORIGIN OF THE SPECIES also sports a brand-new painted cover by Brian Bolland - the fan-favorite artist whose remarkable and distinctive covers for ANIMAL MAN drew raves from every quarter. In the issues collected here, Animal Man moves more and more deeply into the cause of animal rights, but something else is going on beyond his burgeoning radicalism. Strange visions of aliens, people disappearing into strange pencil-like drawings, and hints of a terrible Crisis lurk around the edges of reality. And Animal Man begins to sense something moving towards him...something invisible...something worse than evil. Mature Readers, 224-page trade paperback Retail Price $19.95 $16.95 USA / $25.50 Can
