cover to Animal Man 26: Animal Man lies on the ground in front of a photograph of Grant Morrison seating in front of their computer and holding a cat. cover by Brian Bolland
Splash page from Animal Man 26: Animal Man stands, his back to the reader, in front of Grant Morrison, sitting at their computer workstation. Morrison says, "Me? I'm the evil mastermind behind the scenes. I'm the wicked puppeteer who pulls the strings and makes you dance. I'm your writer."
panels from Animal Man 26: Grant Morrison explains that they "didn't create you... or your family. I'm more of a demiurgic power. Someone else creates you to be perfect and innocent and then I step in and spoil everything. It's a little bit Satanic, I suppose."
panels from Animal Man 26: Buddy sees the death of his family in comic book and asks Grant Morrison if he knows what has been done to him. Morrison replies, "Of course I know. I wrote your grief and your rage and your acceptance."
OTD in 1990, the final issue of #GrantMorrison and #ChasTruog 's #AnimalMan run was released. The hero finally confronts the mysterious Big Bad, and it turns out to be Grant Morrison. In a stunning inversion of the Job story, we realize that we're on the wrong team.

cover to Animal Man 32: Animan Man and a primate creature stare contemplatively at a pizza box. Cover by Brian Bolland
cover to Doom Patrol 41: typical Simon Bisley painted collage cover, this one with the naked figures of a woman and a tailed creature near several skulls with helmets. Cover by Simon Bisley
cover to Sandman 23: multimedia collage of a male face (perhaps Lucifer) surrounded by all manner of Dave McKean nonsense. Text: "In which the Lord of Dreams returns to Hell, and his confrontation with the lord of that realm; in which a number of doors are closed for the last time; and of the strange disposition of a knife and key" Cover by Dave McKean
cover to Shade the Changing Man 8: a mixed media collage of eyes. Text: "Outta Sight!" Cover by Brendan McCarthy
A great day for (pre) Vertigo comics, collage covers, and me in 1991, with the release of Animal Man 32, Doom Patrol 41, Sandman 23, and Shade the Changing Man 8!

cover to Animal Man 19 - Richard Hightower is shown in a series of comic book panels, panicking as Animal Man (standing outside the panels) reaches in to touch him on the shoulder. Cover by Brian Bolland

One of the most famous splash pages of the 1990s: Buddy Baker looks at the reader and says, "I can see you!"
OTD in 1989, DC released two outstanding pre-Vertigo titles: #AnimalMan 19 and #DoomPatrol 29. Both were written by @grantmorrison.bsky.social with art by #ChasTruog (AM) and #RichardCase (DP).
This the AM issue where Buddy learns that he is a comic book character.
