Mark Millar

Mark Millar is the rare comics writer whose influence I can trace straight onto cinema screens. A Scot out of Coatbridge who dropped out of Glasgow University, he made his name on The Authority, then reshaped Marvel with The Ultimates, which Time called the comic book of the decade and which fed directly into the Avengers films. Then came Kick-Ass and his own Millarworld empire. What I admire is the instinct for high concept that travels: he writes comics that already feel like blockbusters. The MBE recognition reads, to me, less as establishment approval and more as proof that genre work can carry real cultural weight.
