Grant Morrison began their comics career in 1978, with contributions to the short-lived experimental comics magazine Near Myths. This promising start was immediately followed by eight years of poverty and unemployment. In 1986, however, they found themselves working for Britain's 2000 AD , for whom they wrote the successful Zenith series. Morrison then found fame with acclaimed runs on Animal Man and Doom Patrol , as well as their subversive creator-owned titles such as The Invisibles, Seaguy, and WE3 . They have also written best-selling runs on JLA, Seven Soldiers of Victory, and New X-Men and is currently hard at work helping to re-invent the DC Universe in All Star Superman, 52, and Batman .
