If you ever thought Grant Morrison was tripping when he wrote some of his plots, you were correct. This book is part history of comics, part analysis of the art form, and part memoir of Morrison's life. You could safely skip the recap of the golden age. Who needs to hear the Siegel and Schuster story again. The book gets good when we get to the merging of comics history and Morrison's life. Obviously, he's a great storyteller, but he's also an insanely intelligent, interesting guy. This was so much more than the dry lists of creator names in the Marvel history I recently read. My “To Read” list of comics doubled in length thanks to Morrison's behind the scenes tales of their creation.
