Grant Morrison at the Edinburgh International Book Festival

[@dr_jamie_ranger]

Had the pleasure of being in the audience for this talk. He stayed for 3 hours afterwards, signing anything anyone put in front of him, and giving every single fan the time of day. A real gentleman, and a brilliant comics writer.

[@Falconbridge9]

my cousin sister was there as well .-.. where are you from ? who are you ? .. .lool

[@megaky00]

You jammy git ;)

[@DriscolDevil]

I love to hear that. He seems so cool, I want him to be that much of a nice person. He does look like the type of person who isn't some jackass "I'm above everyone" celeb, but you never can tell.

[@Williamtipq]

Grant is a great man

[@PopCulturePhilosophers]

Grant Morrison is the best. Period.

[@billybarnell1996]

+Pop Culture Philosophers Agree with you there: enjoyed the Morrison/Moore breakdown you did.

[@RighteousBrother]

Can't believe the host interrupted him, just as he was getting to the best part of the Kathmandu story.

[@timgonzales2891]

Grant probably hexed him that night. Host is now infertile.

[@IsNoGood4uM1kkel]

He's probably a villain in one of his comic books now 😁🔥

[@Beachcomber95]

Thank you!

I kind of laughed at the part where he talks about Superman growing up in a Nazi utopia "based in genocide". Because, y'know, there's no genocide in early American history or anything. (Which I'm sure Grant is aware of, I just found it a bit ironic.)

[@naturesquad9174]

+americanslime I think he's said in the past that most western audiences cant conceptualize mass Evil unless its in a Nazi uniform. I liked his older 90s stuff more just because it emphasized the banality of evil, he seems a lot more reluctant to peel back the lid in his new stories. His stuff like The Invisibles and Bible John was so raw. Honestly, the Nazi Superman issue of Multiversity would have been stronger if Superman had overseen the genocide aspect...his being absent and offended by it felt like a cop-out. People who commit evil genocidal acts usually think theyre in the right, after all.
