i was compelled yesterday to go into a bookstore and pick up a copy of Grant Morrison's new trade paperback of his comic book "The Filth".
as with his "The Invisibles" before it in the mid '90s i found myself thinking "how'd the hell did this guy know what i've been thinking about, and how dare he put it in a fucking comic book!" (which is oddly enough a reaction Morrison himself had when he saw 'the matrix')
i read the whole thing in one sitting... and left the bookstore with my neurons humming...
...check 'The Filth' out.
Morrison describes what he wrote as an attempt to innoculate society with carefully constructed memes through an optical format...
