LUDA

The wild new novel by legendary creator of super heros for Marvel and DC comics.

Luci LaBang, an aging drag performer living in the fictional city of Gasglow, is the star of a wildly popular musical. But when a mysterious and ambitious pupil named Luda enters the picture, Luci's life takes a paranoid turn and nothing will ever be the same. The Glamour, a trance- like magic that employs drama, sex and plenty of drugs, casts a spell over Gasglow, a grid-like dream city, where drag is the costume of choice, and performance is the lingua franca - both on and off the stage.

LUDA promises to be as playfully psychedelic as Grant's graphic novels (Animal Man, The Flash, Doom Patrol), though he's best known as the author of Batman: Arhkam Asylum, the bestselling graphic novel of all time, and the New York Times bestselling book, Supergods: What Masked Vigilantes, Miraculous Mutants, and a Sun God from Smallville Can Teach Us About Being Human (Spiegel & Grau, 2012), a groundbreaking psycho-historic mapping of the superhero as cultural organism.

Grant has played a key role in the film adaptations of Aquaman, Wonder Woman, Justice League, The Flash, and the TV adaptation of his own Doom Patrol. One of the most prolific, successful and inventive comic book writers alive, Grant Morrison lives and works between homes in Glasgow, Scotland, and Los Angeles.
He has written best-selling stories for Marvel and DC Comics, creating definitive runs for iconic characters including - Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, the Justice League of America, the Fantastic Four and the X- Men. Seminal titles in comics include Batman: Arkham Asylum, All-Star Superman, Animal Man, The Invisibles, WE3, Joe the Barbarian, and Doom Patrol.
