ANIMAN HC

Pet therapist by day, animal-morphing pet detective by night—Animan is on the case! A radioactive mosquito bite in infancy grants Francis the power to morph into any animal at will. From a young age he learns to keep his abilities secret, using his day job to cover his true calling. In this volume, Francis uses his fantastical gift to treat animal patients, go undercover to solve murders, and square off with his nemesis Objecto, a foe who can transform into any object. When he's not undercover or in the ER, Francis pursues watercolor landscapes and even dabbles in risqué portraits of his frog girlfriend, Fabienne. Veteran cartoonist Anouk Ricard delivers a fresh take on the superhero genre—full of slapstick, ridiculous situations, and punchy gags—brought to life in lush color and sharp, humorous storytelling.
