One day (and very soon), our guest this week will be the most famous Scotsman in the world and you’ll thank us for introducing you to his work. A multi-award-winning writer, he’s breathing new life into comic book heroes such as the X-Men, Spiderman, and the Fantastic Four, and fast becoming a most unlikely Hollywood mogul who doesn’t own a smartphone and even picks his own kids up from school. But even more unlikely, he’s a socialist, a Brexiteer, and a Roman Catholic. At the tender age of 13, he made Superman a communist and asked what if he had been brought up in the Soviet Union instead of the US, and had landed on a collective farm in the Ukraine rather than in Kansas… and had worked not for ‘truth, justice and the American way’ but for Stalin and the USSR. Mark Millar MBE is a Renaissance man, or whatever they call such a man when he comes from Coatbridge, Scotland, so we invited him aboard Sputnik for a very special journey orbiting his very own ‘Millarworld.’
