The Filth New Edition

by Grant Morrison, Chris Weston, Gary Erskine

Overview

From the twisted imagination of Grant Morrison comes a groundbreaking, mind-altering voyage of conspiracies and revelations. Greg Feely is a "dodgy bachelor" living a quiet life in London alone with his elderly cat. Everything changes when a strange woman named Miami Nil confronts him. She informs him that "Greg Feely" is actually a "para-personality"--in effect, a secret identity--and that he is in fact Ned Slade, the top agent for an organization called the Hand, a group of extra-dimensional agents who need Greg/Ned back in action! This out-of-the-box sci-fi story encapsulates the superb talents of two amazing creators into one of the most original graphic novels ever! From the legendary writer Grant Morrison (DOOM PATROL, BATMAN, THE INVISIBLES) and Chris Weston (THE INVISIBLES) comes sci-fi weirdness of the deepest level. Features the complete series of THE FILTH (#1-13) with extra sketch material and annotations from Grant Morrison.

About the Author

Grant Morrison has been working with DC Comics for more than twenty years, beginning with his legendary runs on the revolutionary titles ANIMAL MAN and DOOM PATROL. Since then he has written numerous bestsellers-including JLA, BATMAN and NEW X-MEN-as well as the critically acclaimed creator-owned series THE INVISIBLES, SEAGUY, THE FILTH, WE3 and JOE THE BARBARIAN. Morrison has also expanded the borders of the DC Universe in the award-winning pages of SEVEN SOLDIERS, ALL-STAR SUPERMAN, FINAL CRISIS and BATMAN, INC., and he has reinvented the Man of Steel in the all-new ACTION COMICS. In his secret identity, Morrison is a “counterculture” spokesperson, a musician, an award-winning playwright and a chaos magician. He is also the author of the NEW YORK TIMES bestseller SUPERGODS, a groundbreaking psycho-historic mapping of the superhero as a cultural organism. He divides his time between his homes in Los Angeles and Scotland.

Editorial Reviews

"The mutant child of Alan Moore, Terence McKenna and Robert Anton Wilson, Morrison has emerged as one of only a handful of comics writers with a true voice and vision. He's as fascinated by paranoid conspiracy theories and the Kabbalah as he is by superhero archetypes. They're all played out in this psychedelic science fiction adventure. Like his best-known works The Invisibles and Doom Patrol, this story follows a subterranean organization with terrifying science at its disposal—but in a break from Morrison's previous works, covert government agency the Hand is actually working to maintain the status quo against the mass hallucinations of a society that needs to dream. Artistic collaborators Weston and Erskine capture this insanity with razor-sharp precision, dead-on characterizations and such memorable vistas as a decaying miniature world and planets covered with machines."—Publishers Weekly

"Ideal for fans of 'challenging' comics and scifi."—Booklist
