Millar Takes Health-Related Sabbatical

imageNewsarama tells us that the writer Mark Millar, among Marvel Comics' top creative assets and well known among some readers for his strong on-line presence, is taking a half-year sabbatical for health reasons. Marvel's active interest in getting Millar diagnosed and on the road to recovery is a nice and interesting story in itself. Between that and stories I'm continually e-mailed about creators getting checks for contributions to the latest Batman movie without anyone being sued first, and one might even feel some small hope for a less exploitative comics industry some day far off in the future. Well, might. Millar says in the piece that he has enough work completed that there should not be a noticeable absence in the marketplace as a result of this extended break.
