Grant Morrison
Biography
Grant Morrison, born in Glasgow, began writing comics in the late 1970s, contributing Gideon Stargrave strips to Near Myths and later working on Starblazer and Future Shocks before creating Zenith with Steve Yeowell for 2000 AD in 1987. That work brought them to DC Comics, where Animal Man and a surreal run on Doom Patrol helped place them in the British Invasion of American superhero comics, and the graphic novel Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth sold exceptionally well. Morrison went on to write JLA, the meta-series Seven Soldiers, All-Star Superman, which won Eisner and Harvey Awards, and a seven-year Batman storyline that introduced Damian Wayne. At Marvel, they wrote New X-Men. They edited Heavy Metal from 2016 to 2018, co-created the Syfy series Happy!, and were appointed MBE in 2012.
