Abstract
Grant Morrison's prophetic, epoch-making graphic novel The Invisibles made as important a contribution to the counterculture of the 1990s and 2000s as Naked Lunch and On the Road did for the 1950s and 60s. Like those works, The Invisibles has a dedicated cult following and is now beginning to be recognized in the mainstream. Just as The Invisibles is a comprehensive guide to life in the 21st century, Patrick Neighly and Kereth Cowe-Spigai's Anarchy For The Masses is a comprehensive guide to The Invisibles (similar to The Sandman Companion by Hy Bender): it includes not only full annotation to every issue, and critical analyses, but also exclusive, extensive interviews with:
  • Series creator and writer Grant Morrison
  • Artists Philip Bond, Phil Jiminez, Sean Phillips, Warren Pleece, Frank Quitely, Cameron Stewart, Jill Thompson, Chris Weston, and Steve Yeowell: virtually all of the artists who molded Morrison's scripts into the breathtaking reality of The Invisibles
  • Series editor Stuart Moore

Freshly updated in a new Disinformation® edition, Anarchy For The Masses includes extensive amounts of new material, including:

  • ∙ A brand new cover by mega-popular comic book artist Frank Quietly (The Invisibles, New X-Men, Flex Mentallo, The Authority).
  • ∙ New interior illustrations by series artists Chris Weston (The Invisibles, Lucifer, The Filth) and Steve Yeowell (The Invisibles, Sebastian O, Zenith).

The Invisibles is a direct dialogue with, and would appeal to fans of, The Illuminatus! Trilogy by Robert Anton Wilson and Bob Shea, The Matrix, the novels of Philip K. Dick, Aleister Crowley, Ecstasy Club by Douglas Rushkoff, the speculative works of William S. Burroughs and H.P. Lovecraft, the cult British TV show The Prisoner, the Jerry Cornelius stories of Michael Moorcock, The Beatles, and the world as we know it.
