Talking comics with Frank Quitely! #Millarworld

August 31, 2017 by Miss Stewart | 1 Comment

So, I was (fangirling my heart out) in the audience of last night’s wonderful book launch of the hugely talented Frank Quitely’s new #Millarworld comic – Jupiter’s Legacy, vol 2.

Comics publisher Millarworld (Mark Millar unfortunately couldn’t make it, but sent his apologies!) have produced an exclusive Kelvingrove cover edition which can only be purchased from the museum – with a very limited run of just 300 copies – and, oh yes peeps, I have a signed copy!!! 😀

What can I say? It was a fabulous evening. Frank Quitely is one hugely talented gentleman – and a wonderfully articulate, funny, gentle man. He signed all the books/comics I’d brought, even though I’d brought too many (Thank you, lovely museum lady too!), and was utterly charming.

So, photos from the evening/exhibition, and my review of Jupiter’s Legacy, to follow anon. 😉 In the meantime here’s a video of the full interview/Q&A session for your viewing pleasure. My elbow frequently features to the left side of screen! 😉
