Mark Millars' Hero

Mark Millar, writer of Civil War, Wanted, Kick Ass, and others, has a hero whom he looks up to. He credits this man for getting him into comics through a Scottish television show called Cavalcade. It was there that he met Spider-Man and started reading Marvel Comics. He actually had this man at the premiere of Wanted, and wrote the introduction to his biography. Who is this man? His name is Glen Michael. Yeah, I don't know the name either, but to many Scottish folk, he is a local hero. This article from the Times Online written by Mark Millar explains just who Glen is and why Millar is so indebted to him.

Who is the person who got you into comics? For me, it was my brother and next door neighbor. When they started picking up the likes of Iron Man and Captain America from the local comic book shop, I did as well. The difference was I kept reading them while they gravitated on to other things. I never really thanked them for introducing me to the medium, so I guess now is as good a time as any. Thanks bro! Who got you into comics? Post your comments below.
