It was unlike anything I had read up to that time. I first encountered Grant Morrison’s work around 1989 or 1990 when I picked up his Batman hardcover graphic novel Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth. These books changed forever the ways that comics are both read and written. The results of course were Watchmen (Moore), Sandman (Gaiman), Stormwatch and The Authority (Ellis) and many of the books that are included in this annotated bibliography. Along with fellow UK comic book writers Alan Moore, Neil Gaiman and Warren Ellis, he was approached by DC comics in the 1980’s to revitalize their properties and inject some “new blood” into mainstream American comics, which had become pretty stale and rote by that time. Grant Morrison is one of the most acclaimed and controversial comic book writers of the past twenty years. Rather, it is a (very amateurish) attempt at cataloging stories by Morrison where certain themes seem to be present as well as and authors that have influenced these themes. **note** This is in no way a comprehensive list of the books Grant Morrison has written. ![]() ![]() Annotated Bibliography and Influence Study on selected works ![]()
