\"\"<\/a>[ENGLISH Sequart.org is excited to announce that a 2nd edition of its first book, GRANT MORRISON: THE EARLY YEARS, is now available exclusively through PREVIEWS (order code JUL084473). If you missed out last year, now is the perfect time to buy THE EARLY YEARS because this 2ND EDITION is revised and includes a newly-added essay about Morrison’s very first story for 2000AD. Grant Morrison redefined comics in the late 1980s and early 1990s from his trailblazing creation\u00a0of ZENITH,\u00a0through his metatextual innovations on ANIMAL MAN, to his Dadaist super-heroics in DOOM PATROL. Along the way, he explored the Batman mythos with his multilayered masterpiece ARKHAM ASYLUM and the literary GOTHIC storyline.<\/p>\n

GRANT MORRISON: THE EARLY YEARS (softcover, 6×9 in, 280 pgs, B&W) examines these five Morrison works in detail. Using plain language, Callahan opens up Morrison’s sometimes difficult texts and expands the reader’s appreciation of their significance, creating a study accessible to both Grant Morrison aficionados and those new to his work. An extended exclusive interview with Morrison on his early career rounds out the volume.<\/p>\n

According to the book’s author, Timothy Callahan, \u00ab\u00a0the book explores the unifying themes of Morrison’s early work, providing a close analysis of stylistic and structural techniques.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n

\u00ab\u00a0In its limited release, the book has sold well online and at comic book conventions,\u00a0\u00bb says Publisher Julian Darius. \u00ab\u00a0Callahan [also a ComicBookResources.com reviewer] has been repeatedly praised in reviews of the book, and cover artist Kevin Colden has been in the news for receiving \u2013 and declining \u2013 a Xeric grant. We’re very excited about having this book in PREVIEWS and comic book stores for the first time.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n

The book is the first in a line of critical books from Sequart Research & Literacy Organization, a non-profit devoted to the study and promotion of comic books as a legitimate art.<\/p>\n

MAKE SURE TO TELL YOUR LOCAL COMIC STORE OWNER TO ORDER ONE FOR YOU! (Once again, our book’s PREVIEWS order code is JUL084473.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
