The guy who runs this show (Fan Expo) phoned me up. We had a chance to sit down with Frank Quitely at the 2012 Fan Expo in Toronto to talk about Canada, his collaborators, and his dislike of cons, all while swooning me with his Scottish tongue.ĭork Shelf: You’re not in Canada that often, eh?įrank Quitely: This is my third time in about ten years.įQ: Yeah, for a couple reasons. With the popularity of Quitely and Millar’s first team up on The Authority, this book is shaping up to be a colossal success. Jupiter’s Legacy looks like a breath of fresh air in the atmosphere of Millar, with a new and very original view on how we think of superheroes.

With Millar’s overzealous nature of squeezing out ultra-violent sub-cultured superhero books, it pains us to say that it’s started to wear a little thin. Mark Millar is the Lil’ Wayne of the comic book world, pumping out jam after jam faster then most can read them. Now they are collaborating once again for Morrison’s Multiversity series, with Quitely offering his skills to the highly anticipated Pax Americana book. Quitely has been blessed with an unforgettable partnership not once, but twice! His first partner was eccentric Grant Morrison on the hugely successful All-Star Superman, recently adapted into a full-length animated film. But every so often, serendipity smiles down onto us and give us dorks another reason to live, hope for the future. Finding someone you can jive with creatively is a journey that can take some a lifetime and many won’t get the chance.
