Animal Man #18,19,21,22 written by Grant Morrison and drawn by Chas Troug & Doug Hazlewood.
This post proves that I am not selling crappy comics I don't want any more. This is Grant Morrison's AnimalMan. One the best comics ever made. I read his entire 26 issue run in tradepaperbacks that I had taken from the library, and liked it so much I have bought most of those issues individually.
If you aren't familiar with this comic, then I implore you buy these copies. For $4.00 you'll get a taste of what this comic was all about. Finding these issues anywhere else will probably run you $3-4 per issue.
Mr. Morrison took a relatively obscure character in Buddy Baker and explored ideas of super heroics, environmentalism and vegetarianism. In fact, according to Mr. Morrison himself he was trying to sort through his own beliefs at the time, and ended up changing his mind about a couple of things.
As a side note, in the same interview, he mentioned how stupid some people are when they said things like "I hope any scientist experimenting on an animal comes back as an animal that is experimented on" because, as he put it "How do you know that hasn't happened? that the animals being experimented on used to be scientists?" (I am paraphrasing)
Anyway, this is comics at their absolute best as written by one of the masters of the art form.
$1 each or all four for $4.
