Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Iron Man, and the X-Men—the list of names as familiar as our own. They are on our movie and television screens, in our videogames and in our dreams. But what are they trying to tell us? For Grant Morrison, one of the most acclaimed writers in the world of comics, these heroes are powerful archetypes who reflect and predict the course of human existence: Through them we tell the story of ourselves. In this exhilarating work of a lifetime, Morrison draws on art, archetypes, and his own astonishing journeys through this shadow universe to provide the first true history of our great modern myth: the superhero.

Autobiografia, História e Ensaio

Bom livro para iniciantes da História das histórias em quadrinhos e para quem tem interesse nas opiniões de Morrison sobre o gênero de super-heróis, sua relação com ele, e suas impressões das direções que o mercado seguia e suas causas em 2011.
