"Grant Morrison has collected his MBE. The acclaimed comics writer was given the award by Prince Charles.  &amp;quot;He asked me about comics, and said he used to like reading the Eagle in the 1950s,&amp;quot; Morrison told The Irvine Herald. &amp;quot;I would like to think the award is for the work I&amp;#039;ve been doing in America - it&amp;#039;s mostly British people who have changed the complexion of American comics, which has influenced the movies and TV, and expanded the sphere of British imagination.&amp;quot; He posted an image of himself wearing his medal on Twitter. His late father Walter Morrison also received an MBE in 1998 for his community work. Morrison was asked in a previous interview with Comic Book Resources whether the MBE made him feel more chivalrous. &amp;quot;No, it actually made me feel more evil, I think,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;I mean, when a howling witch hunt turns up on cue to accuse you of &amp;#039;joining the Establishment&amp;#039; as if you&amp;#039;d signed up for the Secret Society of Super-Villains, what else can you do but cackle and rub your hands together? &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;d love to tell you I&amp;#039;m now qualified to join the Round Table and declare war on Narnia but the truth is, absolutely nothing has changed.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
