Today, Spiegel & Grau released Grant Morrison’s SUPERGODS, a non-fiction history and exploration of the superhero archetype. Part history book and part memoir, SUPERGODS is a fascinating portal into the world of comic books not just for fans of Grant’s, but for fans of the industry as a whole. To support the book’s publication, Grant will hold two appearances in New York City this afternoon:

• MIDTOWN COMICS (459 Lexington Avenue) at 1:00 PM. Ticketed signing. Purchase is required to get on line. Grant will sign a limit of 2 items per customer (with one of them being SUPERGODS).

• BARNES & NOBLE (97 Warren Street) at 6:00 PM. Ticketed talk, Q&A, and signing. Grant will sign up to three items (with one of them being SUPERGODS).
