About the Author: Grant Morrison
Scottish comic book author Grant Morrison is known for culture-jamming and the constant reinvention of his work. He is known for his nonlinear narratives and countercultural leanings in his runs on titles including DC Comics' Animal Man, Batman, JLA, The Invisibles, Action Comics, All-Star Superman, and Doom Patrol, and Marvel Comics' New X-Men and Fantastic Four. Many of these are controversial, yet rate in some of the most critically acclaimed and popular books. He is also active in screenwriting.

In Supergods, Morrison goes through the history of superheroes, from Superman's first appearance in Action Comics in 1938 to his own relaunch of the character. It also features elements of biography and a brain-boggling central section on how current quantum physics theory might suggest superhero universes could 'really' exist.
Robbie Williams makes a cameo appearance, while the author shows a deft turn of phrase while appraising his fellow creators. Watchmen writer Alan Moore gets some stick, while Morrison's former protege, Kick-Ass writer Mark Millar, is the subject of withering asides.
Supergods is a good introduction to newcomers.
