Supergods SC (2012) comic books

1st printing. By Grant Morrison. Includes additional material not found in the Hardcover, an autobiographical comic about Grant Morrison's encounter with the Superworld! For the millions who know and love the great pantheon of superheroes, here's a brilliant and wildly entertaining exploration of the phenomenon - the story of how our culture gave birth to these otherworldly heroes, how they've changed as we've changed, and how they've transformed us. Here is a mind-jolting look at one of the most ubiquitous, beloved, and misunderstood of American creations: our superheroes. Much more than a book about comics or pop ephemera, Supergods is a polymathic, intellectually exhilarating book about us: our culture, our history, our future, and the heroic power of the stories we tell. Softcover, 5-in. x 8-in., 456 pages, Text (with B&W Pictures and Illustrations). Cover price $16.00.
