Preview by Jack Foley
MARK Millar and John Romita Jr will be signing the graphic novel Kick Ass and the movie companion book Kick Ass: Creating The Comic, Making The Movie at London’s Forbidden Planet Megastore, 179 Shaftesbury Avenue, WC2h 8JR on Sunday March 21, between 2 and 3pm.
The first 75 customers at this event will also receive two tickets to the star studded premiere of Kick Ass.
The Kick-Ass phenomenon unites acclaimed writer Mark Millar and award-winning artist John Romita Jr. for one of the 21st century’s most outrageous and acclaimed series.
What would happen if you tried to be a superhero – if an ordinary kid in spandex came face-to-face with the criminal underworld?
In the graphic novel, Dave Lizewski is just a regular American teenager with a MySpace page, a comic book collection, and no girlfriend. As self-styled vigilante Kick-Ass, however, he’s about to find out exactly how a superhero would fare in the real world… and it’s going to get really, really violent!
To accompany the film release, Mark Millar has also written the full and official page-to-screen story of Kick-Ass, collecting the input of the cast and crew as well as artist John Romita Jr.
With eye-popping art from the original comics, script extracts and hundreds of movie photos, this is the indispensable guide to every aspect of ass-kicking.
