Mark Millar Scottish Writer Quotations

When we sit and watch a horror movie we know we're watching a horror picture and come to the story with a certain level of psychic defence.

I wouldn't let kids near half the stuff I've written so it is quite lovely to pass these little books out to children when they visit the house.

We've had really good mainstream publicity for these books and both Wanted and Chosen were snapped up as movie deals before each series even ended so I'm honestly just pinching myself.

Being the first to do something like this also registers a lot of attention that the line might not have gotten if all four books had just appeared from one company.

Sales were stable, but they would have kept rising if we'd been out there every month and I think we'd be topping 200,000 by now.

It's actually annoying when I hear people say the sequel will be late because we're in a completely different situation from the original.

It's been the most creatively liberating thing I've ever done and so I'm bringing some of that mad enthusiasm to Marvel for the next couple of years as they let me loose on some Marvel Universe titles you'll be hearing about soon.

However, if I can expand this to Top Cow or Avatar I'm helping the sales, however small, on my Marvel books because I'm almost certain to pick up some new readers.

I'd love to do something else for Avatar after this.

These are pretty much the most critically-acclaimed books I've ever written and the sales have been literally twice what we were all expecting.
