Grant Morrison has had an amazing writing career by any standard. Their body of work is both vast and incredible. But finding a good starting point can be hard. For readers looking for a good place to begin with Morrison, here are three incredible titles.

1. Superman: Action Comics

Grant Morrison wrote for Action Comics starting in 2011, his run lasted for three arcs: Superman and the Men of Steel, Bulletproof, and At the End of Days. Action Comics was an incredible origin story for the Man of Steel. Out of all of Superman's origins, this one stands out as one of the most bold and fresh ones, featuring villains old and new, and a well rounded cast of Superman's allies.

2. Wonder Woman: Earth One

Morrison was the writer for all three volumes of Wonder Woman: Earth One. Another origin story, Earth One focuses on the Amazon side of Wonder Woman. The Amazons rarely get as much spotlight as they do in Earth One. A real character study of Wonder Woman, Morrison brings her to strange and amazing places.

3. All Star Superman

The All Star line only had two entries: All Star Batman and Robin, and All Star Superman. All Star Superman is often considered the greatest Superman story of all time. The artwork by Frank Quitely is something else, and Morrison's storytelling and dialogue go a long way to make this a Man of Steel to remember. Not only one of the best among Morrison's works, All Star Superman is the best among comic books and superhero stories.

Grant Morrison is without a doubt one of the best writers in comic book history. They are prolific and bold in writing, and all of their works have had some incredible artists working on them. Morrison's writing style is one of a kind, with some of the best dialogue in comic book history. While it may seem daunting to begin reading their work, it is well worth it.
