More quotes by Mark Millar

Image
Batman: a force of chaos in my world of perfect order. The dark side of the Soviet dream. Rumored to be a thousand murdered dissidents, they said he was a ghost. A walking dead man. A symbol of rebellion that would never fade as long as the system survived. Anarchy in black.

I didn't break into comics to write fairytales or crime comics.

He [Stuart Immonen] and I have known each other over email for 18, 19 years or something, so to finally work with him is like kissing the girl that you always wanted to kiss.

Artists, no matter how good their intentions, are always slower than they think.
Mark Millar
Image
I don't know, maybe it's just timely, or maybe it's the fact that I live in a house with four women, but I just find my thoughts kind of skewing that direction at the moment.

Their argument, and I think it's a correct one, is that they'll make more money from the trades and the hardcovers if nobody messes with the creative team.

In the U.S., Superman or Batman or something, the law-enforcement people, are the most famous comic characters. Americans have a respect, I think, for badges and a respect for uniforms. I think that's, in some ways, quite a nice thing, but it can be dangerous, too, because it can obviously be abused.

She was like John Rambo meets Polly Pocket Dakota Fanning crossed with Death Wish 4.

The ultimate [act] that would be the taboo, to show how bad some villain is, was to have somebody being raped, you know? I don't really think it matters. It's the same as, like, a decapitation. It's just a horrible act to show that somebody's a bad guy.

The animated books pay the lowest rates at the Big Two and you can forget about royalties.
Mark Millar
Image
The books are all very, very different so the publishers really had to be different too.
Mark Millar
Image
Cookbooks are almost a substitution for a lost sense of culture. People want some other life than the one they're living, so they buy a cookbook with pictures and imagine themselves as part of that life.

Many of our leadership practices have gone from being tried and true to being tired and tarnished.
Mark Millar
Image
The highest form of leadership is one in which a leader raises up other leaders - not as an accident, but as a result of conscious effort.

All my kids love superheroes, but my middle daughter in particular is obsessed with Wonder Woman and Batgirl.

I wanted to portray very, very dark subject matter and a deceptively complex story in the brightest colours and simplest lines possible to leave the readers reeling.

Decision-making is a skill. Wisdom is a leadership trait.

Your capacity to grow determines your capacity to lead.

What I do with everything is take things out of real life. You encounter all sorts of stories. It's a lot of your friends and family, sometimes there's quite sad episodes in their life and everything. So just little things I've picked up along the years always find a way into all of my stories.
