Morrison begs to differ, placing Romanticism and modernism in close continuity, but he does use his comic to display writing and art in collaboration--he adapts his narrative captions to match the style of each school of art inside the hungry painting.
Morrison soon reveals that Byron and Shelley were Invisibles agents, and they share his characters' preoccupation with creating a revolution against tyranny that does not result in even worse bloodshed.
Morrison is done with the callous aspects of the Romantic creator; he and Percy both set aside the Romantic stereotype of the martyred artist in favor of an artist who can take responsibility for his actions, one who can in Percy's words "grow up" (Invisibles 8:13) and leave the potentially destructive fantasies of martyrdom.
