Description
Playful and surreal in equal measure, Scottish writer Grant Morrison often uses the iconic, mythological quality of superheroes as a gateway for dense, often wildly-symbolic and subversive tales packed with imaginative ideas. His work draws from a larger number of literary, philosophical, historical and cinematic influences, ranging from Philip K. Dick to Jorge Luis Borges to (in individual stories) Bollywood, Oscar Wilde, 1960s SF shows, and others. His material ranges from highly accessible to extremely difficult, and has prompted several critical studies and annotations. Start with: All Star Superman Vol.1 (Teens) or We3 (Adults)
