From RIDDLE ME THIS, Bruce MacIntosh's Compendium of DC Comics B-List Characters:
"Crisis on Infinite Earths (1985) wiped out most ancillary characters and all of the alternate versions of the main characters in the company’s line. Animal Man survived, however, and returned in a big way as part of the “British Invasion” of comics writers during the decade of the 80s. In his foreword to the first Animal Man trade (which paraphrased the preface to the second issue of the original comic) writer Grant Morrison recounted the character’s renaissance back in 1988:
'In 1987, at the height of the critical acclaim for Alan Moore’s work on Swamp Thing and Watchmen, DC Comics dispatched a band of troubleshooters on what is quaintly termed a ‘headhunting mission’ to the United Kingdom. The brief was to turn up the stones and see if there weren’t any more cranky Brit authors who might be able to work wonders with some of the dusty old characters languishing in DC’s back catalogue. As one of those who received the call that year, I had no idea who I might dig up and revamp. On the Glasgow to London train, however, my feverishly overstressed brain lighted upon Animal Man. This minor character from the pages of Strange Adventures in the 60s had always, for heaven only knows what murky reasons, fascinated me and, as the train chugged through a picturesque landscape of Tudor houses and smiling bobbies on bicycles, I began to put together a scenario involving an out-of-work, married-with-children, third-rate super-hero who becomes involved with animal rights issues and finds his true vocation in life.'
"Morrison went on to describe that the conceit was initially intended to last through only a four issue mini-series. However, those first four issues were so popular that DC wanted to continue it as an ongoing monthly. Morrison gladly complied and proceeded to help turn the comics industry upside down. (He wasn’t alone in this endeavor, of course, as he had a lot of help from fellow creators such as Neil Gaimen, Frank Miller, Alan Moore, et al.)
"Morrison – with forgotten hero, artist Chas Truog – then created in Issue #5 what has been widely acclaimed to be one of the wildest (and most popular) single stories “The Coyote Gospel”. This began the metatextual storyline that would last through the remainder of Morrison’s 26-issue run, which broke down the fourth wall and crossed the boundaries between the different levels of fiction. A thinly-disguised version of the Roadrunner’s lupine arch-nemesis found himself in Buddy Baker’s world confronting not only his own mortality, but his personal deity. The cartoon literally met his maker – the cartoonist – and found that his god can be capricious and insensitive.
"Reader reaction to Animal Man #5 was overwhelming, as the letter column in #8 demonstrated. (Letter columns lagged behind about three months.) In fact, the assistant editor in charge of letter columns had to prune most of them to fit in as many comments as possible. Reactions ran from political to metaphysical, as each reader took away something different from “The Coyote Gospel”. But everyone caught the analogy between “Crafty” Coyote and the martyred Christ. One observant and philosophical reader noticed “the irony of Crafty Coyote’s human assassin on his own personal crusade against a ‘devil’, praying ‘Sweet Jesus, don’t let me miss.’”
"Another reader noticed the messianic metaphor of Crafty being run over in an intersection: “Crafty died on the cross for his people…” Other readers likened the Coyote to the Suffering Hero of classic literature, such as “Prometheus, Loki, Atlas, the crucified Christ, etc.” and “I am astounded at the variety of sources you have managed to incorporate into a mere 24 pages. Warner Brothers cartoons mesh seamlessly with the archetypal Prometheus myth. Add to that some metaphysical speculation about destiny and the workings of an omnipotent deity, and you have a truly remarkable achievement.”
"All was not metaphysics in the Animal Man series, and Morrison was able to include some good old superhero action occasionally, as he went up against the likes of B’Wana Beast and Mirror Master, and teamed with other forgotten heroes, Dolphin and Vixen. Morrison was able to instill in the character of Animal Man a sense of purpose usually absent from other superheroes, as he became a devout vegetarian and animal rights activist. He also learned from a scientist that his connection with animal life was more intense since his contact with what is called the Morphogenic Field. (A morphogenic field is like an electromagnetic field, in that it theoretically surrounds living organisms and carries and conveys information to other organisms. For Animal Man, it would explain why he would be able to sense an animal without actually seeing it, and why he could absorb an animal’s unique abilities from a distance and without any physical contact.)
"Morrison continued to weave through his run on the Animal Man series the theme of comic creator as The Creator in the “eyes” of His creations, the comic characters. Morrison concluded the metaphysical metaphor and his run on the series after 26 issues, with A-Man literally meeting his maker – Grant Morrison himself. Animal Man learned he was merely a comic character after Morrison revealed that had previously been a resident of limbo with the rest of DC’s forgotten pre-Crisis characters... Buddy had been rescued by the deific writer, giving hope to those and other characters that they could also someday return to the 'real world'.
"Over his two-year run, Morrison managed to make Animal Man the philosophical Center of the DC Universe, and helped establish comics as a “serious” medium. In the process, his stories truly “spoke” to the legion of readers who had been desperately searching for comics as literature – something that spoke to them like adults."
