While Mark Millar is revelling in the humungously successful "Wanted" (first reviewed here), it's worth giving any news agencies reading some insight in to the mind behind the original comic.
1) Mark Millar attacks foxes in his garden in the early hours, using a remote controlled helicopter.
2) He bought a "Superman" movie prop cape, and threatened to eat it if his sales claims for "Civil War" weren't correct. They weren't. He didn't eat it.
3) He has had the habit of exaggerating a number of his achievements from the spectacular into the impossible, through a mixture of bad maths, sloppy journalism, and general puppy-like enthusiasm.
4) He buys drinks for other people without prompting, loves comics more than anyone in the world, and that love is infectious. Be warned, drink with Mark and you'll swear that "Ghost Rider" is ace.
5) He has already sold his next movie, "Kick ***," and the Matthew Vaughn/Jane Goldman movie will go into production well before the mini-series finishes. Millar remains a producer on the project.
6) He is gracious when people try out their Scottish accents on him and never corrects people when they mispronounce his name.
7) He appeared on Richard And Judy, but was silenced by Paul Gambaccinni. But does Paul have a super successful movie under his belt and more to come? No, no he doesn't.
8) He is engaged in a number of secret feuds with major comic book writers who have spread false gossip about him. However, he is now richer and more successful than any of them. Victory!
9) He once tried a moustache and regretted it.
10) He is currently thinking whether he can make a very successful career of writing the occasional high concept paragraph and getting people to make a film from it. He very probably could.
