to jump-start his crimefighting career, he experiences visions of
aliens, people transforming into strange pencil-like drawings, and hints
of a terrible crisis lurking around the edges of reality. And as his
odyssey of self-discovery gives way to spiritual enlightenment as well
as the depths of despair, Buddy meets his maker: a writer named Grant
Morrison.
