2. Supergods
The 6th entry isnt a comic; its an actual book, a real life, hardback book. And not just any old book, a book worthy of its own religion. Grant Morrisons Supergods is a concise history of comics interweaved with a life story thats one part magical, one part imaginary and 100% gobsmackingly interesting. Grant takes us through the birth of the superhero, from the very first issue of Action Comics, complete with an analysis of the cover art, through the golden and silver ages, charting the dark age of the 80s and 90s and into the modern day. Grant parallels these milestones in comic history with his personal biography of his evolution not only as a writer but as a human being.
