Supergods is your opportunity to join one of the great figures of modern comics on a mind-bending journey into the world of the superheroes. In 1938 the first superhero comic ever published "Action Comics #1" introduced the world to something both unprecedented and profoundly familiar: Superman a caped god for the modern age. In a matter of years the skies of the imaginary world were filled with strange mutants aliens and vigilantes: Batman Wonder Woman the Fantastic Four Captain Marvel Iron Man and the X-Men - the list of names is as familiar as our own. In less than a century they've gone from not existing at all to being everywhere we look: on our movie and television screens in our videogames and dreams. But why? For Grant Morrison possibly the greatest of contemporary superhero storytellers these heroes are not simply characters but powerful archetypes whose ongoing decades-spanning story arcs reflect and predict the course of human existence: through them we tell the story of ourselves. In this exhilarating book Morrison draws on history art mythology and his own astonishing journeys through this alternate universe to provide the first true chronicle of the superhero - why they matter why they will always be with us and what they tell us about who we are. ;
