Philosopher, pop-icon, shaman, and storyteller. As one of the most influential comic book writers in the market today, Grant Morrison is all of these things. Morrison turning to reading and creating comics in order to escape the monotony of his school years, and his progression from his younger years into his career as a writer of cerebral and bizarre comics is bizarrely fitting almost expected. Morrison has seen chaos, played with chaos, indeed, chaos seems to be rooted in his very being, but he has used everything he experienced as fuel for his writing. His explosive and often controversial 30-year career has made him a household name for comic fans, yet he shows no signs of slowing down, taking a new turn as he explores other media. With film and television projects on the horizon, more and more people are asking: Who is Grant Morrison?
