This is an intelligent and fascinating critical study of the work of acclaimed comics writer Grant Morrison. One of the most eclectic and distinctive writers currently working in comics, Grant Morrison (b. 1960) brings the auteurist sensibility of alternative comics and graphic novels to the popular genres - superhero, sci-fi, and fantasy - that dominate the industry. His comics range from bestsellers featuring the most universally recognized superhero franchises ("All-Star Superman", "New X-Men", "Batman") to more independent, creator-owned work ("The invisibles", "The Filth, We3") that defies any generic classification. This volume examines how Morrison uses this fusion of styles to challenge contemporary theories of language and meaning, seeking to develop new modes of expression grounded in comics' capacity for visual narrative and the fantasy genres' ability to make figurative meanings literal.
