Animal Man by Tom Veitch and Steve Dillon Omnibus

Where the instincts of the wild meet the fractures of the human mind, this omnibus collects Tom Veitch’s and Steve Dillon’s radical run on Animal Man. Buddy Baker’s powers betray him as memory and identity collapse, propelling him through hallucinatory jungles, CIA conspiracies, and surreal confrontations with a media-driven world. Joined by the distinctive art of Chaz Truog, with contributions from Steve Dillon, Steve Pugh, and Geof Isherwood, the book blends psychological depth with dark humor and savage action. From comatose disorientation to encounters with the Nowhere Man, Veitch’s writing pushes superhero storytelling into unsettling new territory—where heroism is tested not by villains alone, but by the temptations, biases, and pressures of a broken world. Collecting Animal Man #27–50, Suicide Squad #58, and War of the Gods #3, this volume showcases a pivotal, polarizing phase in the character’s evolution and the genre’s boundaries.
