As he did in the past, Kick-Ass, Nemesis and The Secret
Service creator Mark Millar has decided to let one fan name a character in his
upcoming comic series, Starlight. The character is described as an alien with
an affinity with Earth's pop culture. You can try to name it here. Good luck
and let us know if you won.
Mark Millar and Goran Parlov are offering fans
a chance to name a character in Starlight, their new book from Image Comics.
Starlight launched last month and has been receiving rave reviews, already
picked up by Fox to be fast-tracked as a big-budget picture with Simon
Kinberg’s Genre Films producing. All proceeds from the auction will go to a
children’s school fund Millar has established to take local children from the
area in Scotland where he grew up to the theatre. Previous auctions have
helped raise funds for a special-needs mini-bus, buy computers for a local
school and refurbish the library in the school Millar attended from age five to
eleven. He now wants to extend the fund-raising to a second school, such has
been the success of previous charity auctions.
Mark explained, "I grew up in Coatbridge and
have great memories of the town and my days at school. I know there's not a lot
of money in local government right now and this auction will help enable both
schools in my old neighbourhood to take the entire school to a pantomime at
Christmas. This fund will cover tickets, transport and treats for the children
– school trips were a big deal to me as a little kid and I'd love to get them
up and running again, which hasn’t always been possible due to cuts in local
government funding."
Starlight is a six issue series from Millarworld
(Wanted, Kick-Ass, Nemesis and The Secret Service) and issue 3 will debut the
character featured below, the winning bidder having their name filled into the
word balloon. Issue three goes off to press next week and is published in May,
the character appearing in every issue for the rest of this storyline.
