The world's greatest secret agent has six months to live...now it's time to go after the REAL bastards.

Regarded as Millar's comics masterpiece, King of Spies left jaws on the floor as he and artist Matteo Scalera took the classic tropes of the spy genre and subverted everything as Britain's greatest secret agent, now in his sixties, discovers he has six months to live.

He has a choice between gentle decline or going after everyone he thinks deserves to die.

His worldview has changed since he retired from the service and as he looks around at the mess the world's in, he has a long list of people he blames. Politicians, royalty, journalists and celebrities, Sir Roland King wants to root out as much of the corrupt status quo as he can before he goes, and a lifetime of experience makes him almost impossible to catch. Who is the one man who might be able to take him down? His estranged son, eager to destroy him after Roland abandoned both he and his mother many years ago.

This book is for fans of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, Kingsman, Unforgiven and Kill Bill. It's an elegant revenge thriller you won't be able to put down.

Collects King of Spies #1-#4.

For mature audiences.

Mark Millar is a NEW YORK TIMES best-selling author, Hollywood producer, and now president of his own division at Netflix after selling his publishing company to the world's biggest streamer in 2017. He also signed on to exclusively create new comics, TV series, and movies in-house as a senior executive.

Adaptations of JUPITER'S LEGACY, SUPERCROOKS (in the form of a Japanese anime), and AMERICAN JESUS (adapted as THE CHOSEN ONE) have already been released. THE MAGIC ORDER, REBORN, SHARKEY THE BOUNTY HUNTER, PRODIGY, KING OF SPIES, EMPRESS, MPH, HUCK, and a live-action SUPERCROOKS are being put together now.

Previously, Mark worked at Marvel Comics, where he created THE ULTIMATES, which was selected by TIME magazine as the comic book of the decade and described by screenwriter Zak Penn as his major inspiration for the movie THE AVENGERS. Millar also created WOLVERINE: OLD MAN LOGAN and Marvel's CIVIL WAR. CIVIL WAR was the basis of the third Captain America movie, and OLD MAN LOGAN was the inspiration for 20th Century Fox's LOGAN.

CIVIL WAR remains Marvel's biggest-selling graphic novel of all time, and his seminal SUPERMAN: RED SON is the highest-selling Superman graphic novel in history. In 2020, RED SON was also released as an animated feature.

Mark has been an executive producer on all adaptations of his books and worked as a creative consultant to 20th Century Fox on their Marvel slate of movies.
