Dear Mr Morrison submitted by Pumpkinscones on July 9, 2013, 7:18pm Dear Mr Morrison

Thanks for the start and end of your book. I loved your thoughts and descriptions of the various ages and artists/writers who defined the popular comic mediums (at least in the US) and found the little touches of your life that you added in a nice way to ground the book. But then lo and behold you decide to hide an autobiography in the middle of a book touted to show us "what masked vigilantes, miraculous mutants, and a sun god from Smallville can teach us about being human" and it becomes instead Grant Morrison - psychonaut extraordinaire for PAGES AND PAGES before getting back to what we picked the book up for. Don't get me wrong I would have read your biography (probably) if I had found it but I didn't want to read about you being the coolest cool kid in all the various cooltowns before the inevitable collapses when trying to learn about the rest of the coolkids and their part in humanity in general.

Anyway, I hope your cats are well
Love
