Mark Millar, né le 24 décembre 1969 à Coatbridge, est un scénariste britannique de bande dessinée. Résidant à Glasgow (Écosse), il est l'auteur de nombreuses séries pour divers éditeurs américains de comics.

Biography

Après avoir travaillé chez 2000 AD (comics) en Angleterre, il fait ses débuts chez DC Comics sous le label Vertigo avec la série Swamp Thing, ses quatre premiers épisodes étant coécrits par Grant Morrison, puis sur Superman Adventures, comics adaptant le dessin animé. Dans la foulée, il écrit Superman - Red Son.

Il se fera remarquer en 2000 en reprenant The Authority à la suite de Warren Ellis, avec le dessinateur Frank Quitely pour Wildstorm. Il rejoindra ensuite Marvel Comics en 2001 pour le lancement d'Ultimate Marvel, scénarisant la série Ultimate X-Men avant de devenir une superstar avec la série Ultimates dessinée par Bryan Hitch.

Il deviendra le scénariste de certaines meilleures ventes de Marvel, en lançant notamment la série Marvel Knights Spider-Man, par un run de 12 épisodes, et en réalisant une année de Wolverine avec John Romita Jr.

Profitant de sa notoriété, il a lancé chez différents éditeurs des projets personnels, le Millar World, avec des titres comme Chosen et Wanted. À la suite d'ennuis de santé il a réduit un temps ses activités, avant de publier l'événement Civil War chez Marvel, ainsi que la série 1985 qui d'abord voulu en photomontage a été finalement réalisé dans un style plus "classique".

Il retrouve enfin son fameux duo de Civil War dans une nouvelle série post apocalyptique futuriste avec un Wolverine vieillissant dans Old Man Logan. En 2009 et 2011, il signe Kick-Ass, dessiné par John Romita Jr et adapté au cinéma en 2010, et Nemesis, mis en images par Steve McNiven.

En 2012, il devient Docteur en lettres (Honoris Causa) de la Glasgow Caledonian University. Il publie également The Secret Service, un hommage à James Bond avec des dessins de Dave Gibbons. Le comics est adapté au cinéma par Matthew Vaughn sous le titre Kingsman : Services secrets (2015).

Le Soldat de l'Hiver (alias Bucky Barnes) a autrefois été reconditionné dans une base militaire soviétique sibérienne et hypnotisé à l'aide de certains mots. Quiconque prononce ces mots en russe plonge le Soldat de l'Hiver en transe et peut lui donner n'importe quel ordre sans qu'il puisse désobéir. C'est ainsi qu'en 1991, le Soldat de l'Hiver a provoqué l'arrêt brutal d'une voiture pour s'emparer dans son coffre d'une valise avec un étrange contenu.

In the last days of World War II in Europe, Captain America, due to enhancement by a "Super-Soldier Serum", prevents the Nazis from launching an intercontinental missile. They are also soon revealed to be shape-shifting extraterrestrials led by one acting as SS officer Herr Kleiser. The exploding missile knocks the Captain out and he falls into the icy waters of the North Atlantic, presumed dead. 60 years later, Captain America is found and revived by a S.H.I.E.L.D. team led by General Nick Fury. Bruce Banner and Betty Ross lead a team of scientists working to recreate the Super-Soldier Serum in order to try to stop the real power that backed the Nazis - the alien Chitauri. Banner thinks the Super-Soldier Serum is the key to him controlling the Hulk, and he secretly uses his blood to try to create a cure, instead of using candidates that had been selected for the rebirth procedure. As Captain America reunites with his old friend James "Bucky" Barnes, he also learns that his past lover Gail Richards, is married to him and has lived a happy life. Despite being happy for his friends and everyone that he loved, Captain America still feels lost in the present world he is in, unable to find happiness like he wants to.
