EDINBURGH INTERNATIONAL BOOK FESTIVAL
GRANT MORRISON: COMICS HISTORY STRIPPED DOWN
9.30PM: RBS MAIN THEATRE, CHARLOTTE SQUARE, EDINBURGH
This Glasgow boy takes time out from penning bestselling graphic novels to discuss the world of iconic comics with Supergods. Beginning with Schuster and Siegel’s creation of Superman in 1938, Morrison charts the history of the superheroes to their modern, multiplex incarnations, looking at key characters, the odd spin-off and the forgotten curios that populate his universe. Sometimes a few words can tell the story of many thousands of pictures.
