Hey guys,
I apologize for my ignorance. I mainly follow manga but recently I've been getting a bit into American Indie Comics.

I notice that out of all the creators out there, Mark Millar was the one who manages to make turn most of his comics into movies.

This seems like a very rare feat since it seem that a lot of comic book projects go into 'development hell' and never get made.

However, it seems to me that Mark Millar not only got his comic books made into movies. He also manage to exercise some creative control over the project. Which is even a much rarer feat for a writer.

From what I understand most authors even the super successful one's like Bryan Lee O Malley once they sold their comic have much less creative control. Sure they have some consulting role but not as much as Millar does on his work.
