De Schotse stripauteur Grant Morrison staat bekend om zijn 'culture-jamming'-aanpak en de constante heruitvinding van zijn werk. Hij staat bekend om zijn niet-lineaire verhalen en zijn anti-culturele inslag in zijn werk voor titels als Animal Man, Batman, JLA, The Invisibles, Action Comics, All-Star Superman en Doom Patrol van DC Comics, en New X-Men en Fantastic Four van Marvel Comics. Veel van deze werken zijn controversieel, maar behoren toch tot de meest geprezen en populaire boeken. Hij is ook actief als scenarioschrijver.
