	GRANT MORRISON TALKS SEAGUY - NEWSARAMA
		Illustrated by Cameron Stewart, the three issue miniseries is at the same time, new-school Morrison in terms of its wild ideas, but at the same time, it’s old school as well thanks to its inherentsweetness and gentleness.
		Grant Morrison: A bit of both, as usual.
		I find it amusing and interestiing that Morrison sees himself as leading the lighthearted charge of "this new attitude," when his former writing partner Millar is essentially the voice of the badass movement (Authority, Wanted, etc).

	Borges - Influence: Grant Morrison
		Considered by many to be Morrison's masterpiece, he picked the series up at issue 19 and sadly left after 63.
		Morrison used his comic format as a stomping ground of wild ideas, some of which were delightfully absurd, and some of which still give me the willies at night.
		Morrison's latest excursion into the surreal, this series lasted some 64 issues and formed a self-contained universe.

		Disinformation readers should be familiar with Grant Morrison--after all, Richard Metzger has called him "the rightful heir to William Burroughs," and he may be right.
		Morrison, on the other hand, is a lot more fun than Uncle Bill ever was.
		After the panel, Morrison stood outside with his lovely girlfriend Kristan and politely spoke to a minor herd of characters who kept telling Morrison he was "appearing in their dreams" and other such Lone Nut-isms.

		Sometimes it’s a bit of a mess and yeah, it still doesn’t always work, but the stories that Grant is writing and the things that he is saying really are great, and they continue to be exactly what I need from comic books and for life.
		Much like Grant’s work, it’s all right there in front of you and you’ve really just got to decide how invested you want to be.
		He is also the man behind such sites as Previews Review.com and Comics.212.net and yes, it really is his birthday and yes, we encourage you to send him both wishes and kisses because we love him, and so should you.

	Complaint letter about Grant Morrison (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		I already know enough to state with confidence that Morrison says that human beings should be appraised by the number of things and the amount of money they possess instead of by their internal value and achievements.
		Morrison bases his epigrams on the belief that we can stop antinomianism merely by permitting government officials entrée into private homes to search for blinkered hatemongers.
		Basically, Morrison's saying that sin is good for the soul, which we all know is patently absurd.

	The Dawn of a New Age!
		As one of the many elements in his revolutionary work in JLA, Grant Morrison has managed to adhere to DC's strict editorial limitations regarding Superman, yet to simultaneously re-define the character without anyone at DC being able to stop him.
		When Grant Morrison first began writing JLA in 1997, one of his first acts was to do away with John Byrne's antagonistic relationship between Superman and Batman and return it to that of old comrades-in-arms.
		In his brief run on The Flash, Morrison reminded us that, contrary to the claims made in the pages of Byrne's Man of Steel, Kal-El was in fact born on Krypton rather than on Earth.

	DOOM PATROLS, Chapter 1: Grant Morrison
		Grant Morrison is acutely aware of this situation.
		Morrison picks up on the theme of refusing and resisting social norms, and gives it mind-blowingly kinky new twists.
		Morrison doesn't disavow the juvenile fun of earlier generations of comic books; rather, he presupposes and builds upon their enjoyments.

		Morrison's take on the X-Men has been what attracted many- and in some cases, shocked long-time fans- and he explains, simply, how he views the core characters of the series.
		As is the case with Grant Morrison, there's a complex reasoning behind his decisions, and he says that the introduction of the uglier mutants was necessary to three dimensionalize the X-world.
		One can't talk to Grant Morrison these days without asking about why he left Marvel for DC Comics, the company he left for Marvel, and he answers, though it's obvious this is a question he doesn't want to answer again.

	GRANT MORRISON IS THE DEVIL - Los Angeles CityBeat
		Morrison and his artists come up with some pretty gruesome stuff, but the violence doesn’t bother me nearly as much as having to care about, say, Seaguy’s sidekick Chubby, a cigar-chomping talking tuna who hates water.
		But perhaps it’s not as easy for the creators of conventional pop culture, the purpose of which is to distract us from the status quo while reinforcing it, to directly translate his unconventional ideas to the screen.
		Morrison plumbs the depths of human cruelty here, but ultimately the kindness overshadows the horror.

	COMICON.com: TOTALLY GRANT MORRISON
		MORRISON: I don't read enough of 'em anymore, so there are probably all kinds of trends I'm missing - everybody just seems to be going in his or her own direction, which is fine by me. I loved the last few issues of Joe Kelly's JLA.
		MORRISON: When they're not shooting one another, wondering how their parents could conjure such a weird and frantically ugly version of how to live in the early years of the 21st Century and trying to figure out what it's supposed to be that makes an "adult" different from a "child"...
		Grant Morrison Talking To Mark Millar -- “I think we should now be looking towards the type of stories that worked so well in the old FLASH comics, where we had totally green covers and a hysterical Flash screaming “Everything around me is green - green - GREEN!”. I can relate to that.”

		Morrison, perhaps the greatest writer in comics today, endows his animals with synthesized cyborg speech in which they express their most basic desires for warmth, food and love, as well as their attempts to process their unnatural capacities for violence.
		This is Morrison's most accessible tale ever, and one that is destined to be a classic.

	Untitled Document
		Grant Morrison’s The Filth is into the home stretch now, with just four more issues of its thirteen-issue run to go.
		Like most of Morrison’s creator-owned work, The Filth is many things to many people, layered with subtext and shades of meaning within a much larger context.
		Basically, given it’s somewhat non-linear storytelling, The Filth feels like a trip through Morrison’s head, with any number of ideas bubbling to the surface with each issue, something that can produce a little unease as well as a determination to hang on and see just what he’s getting at with all of this.

	Interview with Tony O' Donnell - artist on Ivy the Terrible and early collaborator with Grant Morrison

		Grant was the youngest at 17, I was nearly 21, after the meeting broke up we travelled back on the same train and he offered to write an SF story for me.
		Grant went on to write and draw 'Captain Clyde' for his local newspaper and he did his first fully professional job as a writer/artist on the Starblazer book 'Algol the Terrible' - No.15 - as early as 1979.

		Morrison continued his groundbreaking work, revitalizing DC characters like the Doom Patrol and Animal Man, gaining a fan following and critical acclaim for his work.
		This time, though, would be different, as Morrison realized that heroes this powerful would only come together to face the most dangerous and potentially world-ending situations and enemies.
		On occasions, Morrison's eccentric nature still shines through, but what really makes his books worth seeking is the big nature of his thinking.

		Morrison is one of the better writers who can direct the story to both affect the character and entice the reader to care.
		Morrison has said in interviews that his goal was to create not realism within comics, but emotional realism within the most far out situations.

		Grant Morrison: I wanted to work with Andy Kubert, which was a big part of the appeal, and I really got into Batman again after writing JLA Classified in 2004, so when Peter Tomasi came up with this offer it seemed worth pursuing even on top of all the other work.
