Grant Morrison has been working with DC Comics for more than twenty
years, beginning with his legendary runs on the revolutionary
titles ANIMAL MAN and DOOM PATROL. Since then he has written
numerous best-sellers - including JLA, BATMAN and New X-Men - as
well as the critically acclaimed creator-owned series THE
INVISIBLES, SEAGUY, THE FILTH, WE3 and JOE THE BARBARIAN. Morrison
has also expanded the borders of the DC Universe in the
award-winning pages of SEVEN SOLDIERS, ALL-STAR SUPERMAN, FINAL
CRISIS and BATMAN, INC., and he is currently reinventing the Man of
Steel in the all-new ACTION COMICS.
aaaaaaaa In his secret identity, Morrison is a ocountercultureo
spokesperson, a musician, an award-winning playwright and a chaos
magician. He is also the author of the New York Times best-seller
Supergods, a groundbreaking psycho-historic mapping of the
superhero as a cultural organism. He divides his time between his
homes in Los Angeles and Scotland.
"The mutant child of Alan Moore, Terence McKenna and Robert Anton Wilson, Morrison has emerged as one of only a handful of comics writers with a true voice and vision. He's as fascinated by paranoid conspiracy theories and the Kabbalah as he is by superhero archetypes. They're all played out in this psychedelic science fiction adventure. Like his best-known works The Invisibles and Doom Patrol, this story follows a subterranean organization with terrifying science at its disposal--but in a break from Morrison's previous works, covert government agency the Hand is actually working to maintain the status quo against the mass hallucinations of a society that needs to dream. Artistic collaborators Weston and Erskine capture this insanity with razor-sharp precision, dead-on characterizations and such memorable vistas as a decaying miniature world and planets covered with machines."--Publishers Weekly "Ideal for fans of 'challenging' comics and scifi."--Booklist
