Where Are My Invisibles!?! -- The Grant Morrison Interview
Manage episode 480675451 series 3650098
Grant Morrison is a Scottish comics writer, Hollywood screenwriter, executive producer, and cat lover. For over four decades, his work has entertained and inspired millions of readers with his unique form of storytelling, making him one of the most popular writers in Comics history. His list of bone fides is too long to name, but my favorites have been Arkham Asylum, Animal Man, Doom Patrol, New X-Men, The Filth, The Invisibles and his nonfiction book Supergods.
Morrison’s work is a testament to the Promethean urge in us all to achieve our highest potential selves before shedding our mortal coils. For me, The Invisibles will remain the best comic I’ve ever read as the series captured my imagination in the same way that Robert Anton Wilson and Robert Shea’s Illuminatus! trilogy did.
I’ve had the pleasure of interviewing Grant three times before, but this is his first appearance on The Prop Anon Podcast. In this interview we speak about Morrison’ magickal observations of the Trump regime, to which he asks, “Where are my Invisibles?” as a rallying cry for others, American especially, to stand up to and defeat the rising tide of fascism in the world. Morrison is clear, Andrew Tate is a far cry from King Mob and so it is time yet again for the left to get cooler, sexier, and tougher than those fascists trampling on our rights. We talk about how this phenomenon relates to the magickal metaphor known as the Aeon of Ma’at and how vital it is for all of us to increase our knowledge of magick. We also speak about The Invisibles and its spiritual sequel The Filth. Morrison reveals his secrets behind the writing of that graphic novel and how he uses writing as a powerful tool in his magickal tool kit. We also speak about Chaos Magic, the Holy Guardian Angel, and how Bast, the Egyptian Cat Goddess is probably the most powerful deity in today’s world.
