Grant Morrison - Supergods

Details
Hardback

In Supergods, Morrison goes through the history of superheroes, from Superman's first appearance in Action Comics in 1938 to his own relaunch of the character. It also features elements of biography and a brain-boggling central section on how current quantum physics theory might suggest superhero universes could 'really' exist.
Robbie Williams makes a cameo appearance, while the author shows a deft turn of phrase while appraising his fellow creators. Watchmen writer Alan Moore gets some stick, while Morrison's former protege, Kick-Ass writer Mark Millar, is the subject of withering asides.
Supergods is a good introduction to newcomers.
