Quotes

"For one of the nicest gentlemen you will meet in this industry, Robbie Morrison concocts some fiendishly devilish work which knocks you out of your chair, kicks you in the ass and throws you out on the street!"
Jim Lee (Artist All-Star Batman & Robin, Superman, Editorial Director Wildstorm)

"Robbie Morrison is one of the BIGGEST writers in Comics nowadays. He's HUGE. Very, very large. Quite elephantine in his magnificent verbosity. A grammarian of exquisite proportions, his grasp of the whole wrigglypiggly-bob-tail-unterpunten has been remarked on repeatedly by those in the know, like me, me, me and ME."
Brendan McCarthy (Author Mad Max 4, Rogan Gosh & Skin)

"I've been friends with Robbie for over a decade. We've worked together several times, travelled together dozens of times, and got unneccessarily drunk together countless times - so I know him well enough to say . . . He writes independent creator-owned comics, as well as for the UK, Europe and US. He's picked up more awards than anybody else I know. He's handsome. He's got a Scottish accent. He's got a lovely girlfriend. He's got a cat that sits on his lap while he's working, and he strokes it like a Bond villain. He's even got that thing going on where one eyebrow's always up and the other's down. And everybody who knows him likes him.
Robbie Morrison has got it all. . . and now he's got a website too. Well I for one, hope it's a shitey website!"
Frank Quitely (Artist All-Star Superman, X-Men, Blackheart & WE3)
