Mark Millar interviews Pat Mills for 2 hours on his Millar Time youtube channel
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2VmyyGBBUw
This is a genuinely great interview, Mark Millar is one of those enthusiastic chaps who wants to be liked so much he puts people at ease which works well for Pat Mills. Much as I don't love Millar's comics his energy and passion for making popular comics is joyful. Same for Mills, who clearly still wants to find ways to reach a mass audience with whatever kinds of comics he can. He may be a world class moaner but he's also not JUST moaning, he's still following his dreams, too.

I agree, not a fan of Millar's work but he has an enthusiasm which is good for an interviewer.
This was great, 2000AD listen to him if you want to survive.

What great words of wisdom about running a successful UK newsstand anthology comic does the man who failed with Clint have for us?
I don't know if Judge Urko means Mark or Pat, but I doubt that Matt Smith needs either of their help after successfully running 2000AD for 22 years now, during which time it has gone from strength to strength.
I'm sure it's a great interview (I've not listened to it yet), but don't let yourself get carried away to the point where you lose your grasp on reality.
Or, if he means Pat..
"What great words of wisdom on doing a modern, successful UK anthology comic does the creator of Spacewarp have for us?"

And Pat has praised Cyber-Matt as "the best editor 2000AD has ever had", which presumably includes himself. His quarrel is with Rebellion.

When Pat got that private, marked confidential email from Matt telling him he was passing on any more Flesh stories and Pat immediately put it up on social media.....was that just the quarrel with Rebellion too?
Nice to see the Mills Bashing happening on the traditional Tuesday (or Týr's Day, as it was in Sláine's time*). These traditions are important.

How do you know it was marked confidential?

I'm just grateful Patrick seems to have stop bashing the Bish-Op so often. It was exhausting.
Don't think about it, don't think about it...

I remember Tharg's Input answers got a bit serious when you took the reins but my grud, that's the message board's quote of the week right there. Made me laugh out loud on the train, anyway.
