The Man Behind Superman

He's been reading comics since he was four and hasn't stopped reading them since. His father bought him his first comic - the 180th issue of Batman from 1966. Fast forward to 2009 and my guest hasn't grown out of it.

In fact, he's grown INTO it!

Mark Waid is one of comic world's most prolific writers and editors who has written some of the best-selling graphic novels of all time. It was a blast speaking to the man who breathes life into The Flash and Superman! He's best known for his eight-year run as writer of these DC Comics titles and Kingdom Come. He' s also worked on Marvel Comics' Captain America.

He was in town for the Singapore Writers Festival and has returned to the US where he's editor-in-chief of BOOM! Comics where he writes Irredeemable, Incorruptible and other self-created works.
