Mark Millar promotes 'Supercrooks' with free signing

Mark Millar has offered a free signing to promote Supercrooks.

The writer will appear at whichever comic shop in the world orders the most copies of the debut issue of his new series.

His new creator-owned title with Superior collaborator Leinil Yu centres on a group of supervillains who move to Spain to plan the biggest heist of their careers.

Spain is a nation devoid of superheroes.

"Supercrooks is being directed by the Spanish film-maker Nacho Vigalondo and we have some teasers that will appear on the day of the comic's release," said Millar.

"But I wanted to make the promotion even more outrageous here and the idea of doing a signing anywhere in the world is exciting.

"All retailers have to do is place the highest order. It's a blind auction. The single store that orders more copies of this book than any other gets a signing and I cover all my own expenses.

"This could be in California, Australia or the Philippines. We find out next week. Please just don't let it be some hell-hole."
