(The efforts of ANIMAL
MAN to avert a war between mankind and apes led by GORILLA GRODD have resulted
in the two taking a road trip together.)
(6 Panels)
Panel 1: Arial shot of ANIMAL MAN and GORILLA GRODD
riding in a jeep across a remote road in the African countryside. ANIMAL MAN is
at the wheel.
ANIMAL MAN: Believe me, I want to be on your side, Mr.
Grodd. I really do.
Panel 2: Panel set in front of the jeep as it drives
down the road. GRODD looks rather annoyed at his present situation.
ANIMAL MAN (1): I’d like to think that the name ‘Animal Man’
isn’t just because of my powers.
ANIMAL MAN (2): I’d also like to think it’s because I’m a
friend to all animals.
Panel 3: GRODD looks at animal man with a sinister
scowl. His index finger presses against the side of an unconcerned ANIMAL MAN’s
head.
GORILLA GRODD: Before we are through here, I will thoroughly
enjoy consuming your brain.
Panel 4: Panel set not far ahead of where the jeep
is, showing a bridge that GRODD and ANIMAL MAN are about to cross.
ANIMAL MAN: That is exactly the thing I’m talking about, Mr.
Grodd.
Panel 5: Panel in front of the jeep. GRODD has his
face in the palm of his hand as if to say ‘I can’t believe I’m putting up with
this.’
ANIMAL MAN: Your constant aggression and threats to eat peoples
brains is why I have such reservations about helping you.
Panel 6: ANIMAL MAN offhandedly points a finger at
GRODD. GRODD looks forward as if to say ‘wait. Why should I have to put up with
this?’
ANIMAL MAN (1): You know what I think, Mr. Grodd?
ANIMAL MAN (2): I think you have anger issues.

This, more than anything, I want to read more of.
ReplyDeleteYeah, this definitely feels like something that could sustain an issue at least.
ReplyDeleteNot exactly what I would ever expect to read in an Animal Man issue. However I couldn't help but really enjoy this. It was a really interesting way to use the powers of the character that I would never have thought of. Like J.D and Niel have said, I would read more of this?
ReplyDeleteThanks again for the switch, MK. But more than that, thanks for an awesome script. Road trip stories are some of the best, and a couple as odd as Animal Man and Grodd would make for terrific reading. Thanks for suggesting and providing the proof of that.
