Seriously, though, these charity auctions Millar runs are brilliant way of raising money for worthy causes (and all legal problems could presumably be sorted with the addition of a middle initial). As Millar reminds us, “We started a bunch of charity auctions with Kick-Ass and Dave Lizewski was named after the winner.
“This charity auction paid for a sound garden in a special needs school. Subsequent auctions for Superior , The Secret Service , Supercrooks and Jupiter's Legacy have paid for all the kids at my old primary school to go to a pantomime (including their transport), bought new computers for the school, paid for a theatre group to come and visit and, more recently, refurbished the entire library for my old school and another one nearby. The Nemesis auction alone raised around $20,000 and went towards half of a big, special needs bus for the school where one of my brothers is a teacher. Note: This is nothing to do with me and all down to the generosity of the readers who have come forward and donated money, having a little fun as a hero or a villain is named after them.”
