Graphic Novel Summary: Written by Grant Morrison; art by Chris Weston and Gary Erskine; cover by Carlos Segura Grant Morrison's 13-issue maxiseries is collected in one mammoth volume. This imaginative series was a heady brew of big ideas, exotic locales and bizarre action, featuring some of the wildest imagery in all of comics, including prosthetically outfitted dolphins in scuba gear and a hard-smoking chimpanzee in Kremlin garb.

Customer Reviews
It's taken me a long time but I'm finally coming around to Grant
Morrison as the greatest mind working in comics today, maybe ever.
(Okay, Alan Moore is up there too, but I'll leave that argument for
another day.)
In The Filth, Morrison chronicles the exploits of an organization called the Hand. It fights against anomalies in the "Status Q," or basically what's normal, or so it seems.
Honestly, I can't even write about this. I don't even know what's happening or why. Yet I know something is, and I know I like it.
I can't think of any comics creator who has ever challenged me the way Grant Morrison has, and I'm only on the tip of his iceberg. (So to speak.) I've never touched The Invisibles, Animal Man, Doom Patrol...I've only danced around the fringes of his most celebrated works.
I like being challenged sometimes. Other times, I want clever superhero comics that just poke my brain a little and help me relax. But sometimes, it's good to have your brain grabbed by the hand of another brain and shaken into some kind of alert dream state.
