What’s it about?
These 3 trades collect 26 monthly issuers of the 1980s Animal Man comic, written by Grant Morrison. It concerns Buddy Baker, a man who gradually becomes aware of his existence as a fictional character within a comic book.
Morrison tends to write grand, complex meta-narratives and this book, produced early in his career, is no exception. The interest in these volumes lies in seeing how Buddy comes to realise his fictionality, understanding the effect this has on him looking at our roles as consumers of his story.
