Animal Man by Tom Veitch and Steve Dillon Compendium

Author Tom Veitch
Where the instincts of the wild meet the fractures of the human mind.

What happens when your powers betray you, your family doesn’t recognize you, and you might have eaten a horse? Welcome to Tom Veitch and Steve Dillon’s Animal Man—a hallucinatory plunge into altered states, CIA cover-ups, and primal rage.

Emerging from a coma, Buddy Baker discovers a warped reality where memory, instinct, and identity all collapse. As he partners with the bizarre Nowhere Man and battles everything from jungle visions to media-themed supervillains, Buddy’s wildest journey begins—not into heroism, but survival. Twisted, tragic, and darkly funny, this run flips the script on superhero psychology.

This volume features Animal Man #27–50, Suicide Squad #58, and War of the Gods #3.
Artist Steve Dillon grew up drawing from an early age; the London native received his first professional assignment at age 16. His work for various UK publishers led to his being offered work on Vertigo's Hellblazer which paired him with writer Garth Ennis. They went on to create the award-winning Preacher.
