Mark Millar directs low-budget film in Glasgow | Film | STV Entertainment

"Whenever you see films made by British film-makers they always seem to be really bleak, whereas New York always looks cool in films. I want to make Glasgow look like that. I live here so I don't want to make it look rubbish. I want it to look great and the sort of place that people want to come and see."

Get Well cards for Joe Sinnott

Anyway: If you were in a roomful of comic book folks and you said, "Joe Sinnott was the best inker ever in comics," I don't think a lot of breath would be wasted in debating the point. You'd get even less dissent if you said, "Joe Sinnott is the nicest person who was ever in comics." I might suggest I was more deserving but no one else would. And even I admit that Joe is a great guy.<br />
<br />
That great guy is about to have a hip replacement. The old one's done worn out and he gets a new one next Friday. If you know Joe, you love him. If you don't know Joe but you know his work, you love what he does. Either way, you might like to send a get-well card or note to cheer him up and on. That address is…

The Most Serious Comix – TIME

Both the DC and Marvel projects include the characters their business has been built on. It really should come as no surprise, after all, superheroes are what they do.

But I think it is more complicated and interesting than that.

Comic Book Authors Go Back to the Drawing Board

Like Barber, Scott McCloud, author of "Reinventing Comics" and the creator of several acclaimed online comic strips, has found a certain psychological solace in simply continuing with his work. On the morning of September 11, he was preparing to post the latest installment of a daily strip called "The Morning Improv" (www.scottmccloud.com), featuring a character that had been killed by a "desert god." A grief-stricken speech bubble reads: "Stupid, stupid, desert god." It occurred to McCloud that the phrase could be construed, by some readers, as an inappropriate reference to the terrorists. However, McCloud decided to post the cartoon anyway. "On the larger scale, comic books are trivial," he says. "But this was my own, tiny act of defiance."
