"I came home from these regular monthly drinks that we have in London and grabbed one of the nice hardback comics next to the bed--and in this case it was [Frank Miller's] 300," Gillen explains. "I picked it up, flipped through it, really not very much paying any attention to it. And one of the speeches about 'The only free men the world has ever known,' and literally had a moment of incandescent rage and shouted at the book, 'You hunted slaves!' And at that second the entire plot of Three downloaded, including the twist, the structure, everything."

I read Heavy Liquid for the first time a couple years ago and I've been hooked on the man since. There's something about his style that just ****in' works for me. Or, well, it did once I actually sat down and started reading his books.
