Someone is whacking Joker's hired help and Batman is convinced it's the joker, but the joker is a mummified vegetable rotting in a cell in Arkham. The Clown at Midnight brings us close to what it's like for the man science has judged has no self, to go about birthing himself a new superpersona. Not only is the style amazing, but the story is quite radical. Can see why there are a lot of mixed reviews of this, but those who didn't love this probably just didn't get the punchline. Not especially one that works as well as this does. He divides his time between his homes in Los Angeles and Scotland.Ī prose graphic novel? Haven't seen many of those. He is also the author of the New York Times bestseller Supergods, a groundbreaking psycho-historic mapping of the superhero as a cultural organism. In his secret identity, Morrison is a 'counterculture' spokesperson, a musician, an award-winning playwright and a chaos magician.

In addition to expanding the DC Universe through titles ranging from the Eisner Award-winning SEVEN SOLDIERS and ALL-STAR SUPERMAN to the reality-shattering epic of FINAL CRISIS, he has also reinvented the worlds of the Dark Knight Detective in BATMAN AND ROBIN and BATMAN, INCORPORATED and the Man of Steel in The New 52 ACTION COMICS. Since then he has written such best-selling series as JLA, BATMAN and New X-Men, as well as such creator-owned works as THE INVISIBLES, SEAGUY, THE FILTH, WE3 and JOE THE BARBARIAN. Grant Morrison has been working with DC Comics for twenty five years, after beginning his American comics career with acclaimed runs on ANIMAL MAN and DOOM PATROL.
