Biography

Aside from Dante, his other works include Shakara (art by Henry Flint), Shimura (which featured the mainstream debut of artist Frank Quitely), and stints on Batman (art by Brendan McCarthy and Charlie Adlard), Spider-Man's Tangled Web (art by Jim Mahfood), Titan Comics' Doctor Who (art by Dave Taylor and Mariano Laclautra), and Wildstorm superhero comics The Authority and Wildcats. In 2012, he was brought in by Dave Gibbons to work on digital comic Treatment, drawn by Doug Braithwaite. In June 2013, publishers Jonathan Cape release Drowntown (first part of Graphic Novel with former 2000 AD artist Jim Murray).

Morrison's writing is noted for an epic, in some ways slightly old-fashioned feel. He has stated in a 2005 interview in the Judge Dredd Megazine that he is interested in reviving comic strips in genres other than science fiction, superhero and fantasy fictions. In addition to his creative duties, Morrison has worked as a consultant for the Scottish Arts Council, promoting the comics format.
