Supergods by Grant Morrison

I’m currently listening to Supergods by Grant Morrison (narriated by John Lee)-and it is wonderful. Like most of us here on DCU, I’ve seen many documentaries on comic books, some just on DC, some on all comics (PBS has a terrific documentary), several on Stan Lee–but this is different. A lot of the same territory is covered, but this is more of a love letter to comic books than a tutorial documentary on the history of one of America’s greatest art forms (right there with jazz). I just feel good knowing that there are others out there-even in my age group (56) who are unapologetic about their love of great stories with great artwork.

It’s amazing how stories wrapped in colorful panels can deeply resonate with us, no matter our age; It is a great read.

One of the docs I saw said simply “when you take the best story writers with the best artists-you get magic.” Couldn’t agree more.
