“Supergods!!!”
Grant Morrison
ISBN 1400069122
“In this work, Morrison draws on art, science, mythology, and his own journeys through the superhero universe, aiming to provide a history of this character - why they matter, why they will always exist, and what they can tell about identity.”
Amazon Best Books of the Month, July 2011: According to Supergods, Superman comics say less about Superman than they do about Clark Kent. Superman was conceived as a symbol of strength and individualism for the Depression-era middle class—perhaps a more compelling portrait of the era than much literature of the time. But this is just one of the many superhero mythologies author Grant Morrison unpacks to give colorful historical and cultural context. Morrison, a prolific comics storyteller with a career spanning 20 years writing for both Marvel and DC Comics, may be the world’s most qualified superhero scholar. (Morrison’s reinvention of the Man of Steel, the All Star Superman series, is arguably the best comic of the past decade.) But Supergods isn’t a book that appeals strictly to fanboys. Like his comics, Morrison’s prose is swift yet powerful, and it’s the broader strokes of the Supergods narrative that resonate most. The book succeeds at being a great history of comic books over the past century, but it’s an even more convincing exploration of humankind as a whole. —Kevin Nguyen
