Show Notes
It’s Grant Morrison Week!
One of the first books Ron Richards ever read by Grant Morrison was his tale of teenage rebellion in the suburbs: Kill Your Boyfriend.
Take a bored teenaged girl, a guy with some booze, drugs and a gun and you get a roller coaster ride that when read at the age of 16 makes you feel like finally someone understands.

Damn you, Richards! Now that’s another book I have to buy. Never heard of this one, and it sounds freakin’ awesome. Plot sounds kinda similar to Heathers, and that’s a great thing.
I can’t believe Grant Morrison week’s ending already. Nooo, I want more! I hope there’ll be other artist-themed weeks in the future because this was ace. Seriously, since the re-launch of the site you guys have outdone yourselves with really interesting and fun ideas for us. We are spoiled.
Great content this week, guys!
In case anyone’s missed it, a few preview pages of next week’s Batman 676 were posted online yesterday. Gosh this looks great:

@flapjaxx – Thank you so much for posting that link. That looks incredible! With this, the new TDK trailer and the Two-Face pic I might just explode from Batman-related excitement!
I got this book when it came out years ago and I thought it was hilarious. Way to reintroduce it, Ron!
OOOooo this looks interesting — definitely gonna pick this one up. Thanks for the segment, Ron
This is still my all time favorite Grant Morrison work. I think I have actually spent around $50 on this comic with how many times I have bought this for friends. I LOVE THIS BOOK.
Off the Grant Morrison subject, I always keep my fingers crossed hoping to see more Philip Bond work. He’s been doing a lot of cover work for Vertigo lately, but I wish he was able to get on a regular book. He was the perfect fit for Kill Your Boyfriend as well as when they teamed up again on Vimanarama.
Ron, I am so glad that you showcased this book. Thank you for validating my obsession.
Thanks Ron. I haven’t thought about that book in a long time. I’m going to have to dust it off and give it another read. I actually first read that book when I was in college. I had a great literature class where we read graphic novels (Dark Knight, Maus, Kill Your Boyfriend, others) and compared them to classic literature. Wish I could go back to that class sometimes, cause I think I’d appreciate it now more than I did 10 years ago.
