A leading figure behind the superhero Renaissance is Grant Morrison, long-time architect of the DC Comics' universe and author of many of the most successful comic books in recent years. Known for his anarchic original creations - Zenith, The Invisibles, The Filth, We3 - as well as for his acclaimed serialized comics - JLA, Superman, Batman, New X-Men - Morrison has radically redefined the superhero archetype. Known for his eccentric lifestyle and as a practitioner of "pop magic," Morrison sees the superhero as not merely fantasy but a medium for imagining a better humanity. Drawing on a variety of analytical approaches, this first-ever collection of critical essays on his work explores his rejuvenation of the figure of the superhero as a means to address the challenges of modern life.

Then again, a superhero with a blue penis on display was shown to be popular back in the 80's, so I suppose there's precedent. _________________ "They'll bite your finger off given a chance" - Junkie Luv (regarding Zebras)

I applaud Darragh's use of the words "tool" and "sack" in this sentence. _________________ "They'll bite your finger off given a chance" - Junkie Luv (regarding Zebras)

It's a tad light on detail...but they didn't have high-def woodcut technology until around 1545 or so. _________________ "They'll bite your finger off given a chance" - Junkie Luv (regarding Zebras)
