Pat Mills should really start a podcast. I could listen to this man for days.

[@Stug138]

Marshal Law is an AWESOME comic character.

[@warlockofwordschannel7901]

As is Nemesis The Warlock, ABC Warriors, Slaine, Psychokiller, Flesh!

[@Tehillim29]

Thanks Mark Millar
For Big Game and Nemesis Reloaded

[@thehmc]

I love that Pat Mills' face looks like it was drawn by John Buscema.

[@dennisvanbeek3801]

😂Oh I love that

[@rammisalami]

The pure and genuine honesty of Mister Mills is really an inspiration.

[@warlockofwordschannel7901]

Always been one of favourite comic writers, we're lucky to have his work on our shelves!

[@new_memeplex]

A deep and inspiring interview. I was incredibly moved by the discussion of the roots of Mills’ anti-authoritarianism in his experience of Catholic education. Everything is so clear now.

[@rammisalami]

Very moving. His wit alone had me from go but that honesty truly was inspiring.

[@brunoe1891]

Damn, what a great interview All love and respect to Pat Mills!

[@AngusRockford]

What a great raconteur and philosopher Pat is, and seems like a lovely, down to earth bloke as well. Good show!

[@lyalclough2612]

I discovered Marshal Law and Judge Dredd at the same time (still have everything). I fell in love with both, but I didn't realize how important Pat Mills was to comics. Thanks, Mark.
Great interview. You have a real talent for it. Double threat.

[@JunAjima]

Great interview with Pat Mills who for me is a legend, it would be great to have him on again, I am sure he will no run out of things to say

That ‘Great Grandad’ line ….🤯 such a good way to explain the rewriting of history

[@robs6952]

Brilliant, Mark - first Millar Time I have watched as I always love to hear Pat - really looking forward to watching the others. Thank you

[@Rick-eo8vo]

Big Ups Mark Millar 😎👍

[@eric_linden]

Pat Mills knows WWI. I respect someone who knows what he doesn’t know. Too many people claim to be experts on everything.

[@rammisalami]

Paul Pope actually did it pretty well with his Battling Boy and I can’t wait for the second volume! I’d imagine he could swing the narrative structure of a webtoon out of his wild story telling and transitioning. Make it happen Mister Millar! Please

[@johnv3623]

Legends! Great episode!!

[@HERITAGE12]

oh fk yeah !
this lad basically wrote my childhood with 2000ad.

[@robt3696]

I haven’t read much of Pat’s work but this was a fantastic watch and I’ll definitely be buying some of his work this summer!

[@DJJunkfoodJay]

Thanks for letting us know what comics are coming and when. "All Millarworld" is on my pull list.

[@drew_gordon]

Fantastic interview. 😎

[@mjl4695]

Coven of 13. Dirty sod. Lol. Great interview Mark.

[@HERITAGE12]

who does he think he is ? warren Ellis !
:D :D :D

[@riyansita9568]

MARK MILLAR
THE COMIC BOOK G.O.A.T

[@whiteeye1]

Legend!

[@prestigepea1235]

"My name is Tom Tully and I earn more than the Prime Minister" is still a killer line though!

[@robertbarnett8747]

Fascinating interview as always

[@warlockofwordschannel7901]

1:39:30 Loved that about Nemesis, the idea of making Humanity the villains is an idea that appealed to H.P. Lovecraft as well, which he approvingly discussed in his letters to people.

[@neilyb4590]

This man gave us the greatest working class hero of all time bill savage legend

[@tripdefect87]

Now if we can only get somebody to republish Requiem: Vampire Knight in English, I can die happy

[@Maggotaur]

Around @1:12:31 Pat Mills wonders if there's a movie about coincidences, there is The Number 23 (200 7) - 23 in that timestamp!

[@rockon8174]

6:45 you need to increase your vitamin C intake prior to and during flight. Liposomal Vitamin C. Take that before flying, mix powder vitamin C with bioflavonoids in your water while in the plane.

[@ScottJonesy]

Or get on an airline that cleans their planes properly.

[@LughSummerson]

The first two graphic novels that Rebellion published were in the classic BD style (in format, content and page count). Shame they didn't do more of them. The hardback format they settled on is not bad. I always wondered if Pat pushed for the hardbacks, since it was mainly his strips that got that treatment early on.

[@nickhayley]

Just a little typo in the title. ❤

[@mladenkulic446]

Millar Time is available to listen on spotify.

[@scott_d_owens]

That's a load of snobbish nonsense about the English however.
