CLiNT

CLiNT is a bi-monthly comics magazine launched in September 2010 by Mark Millar, an anthology title featuring stories written by Millar and by others including comics fan and media personality Jonathan Ross. It is published by Titan Magazines, and has featured strips including Hit-Girl, Kick Ass 2, American Jesus, Nemesis, Superior, Turf, Rex Royd, Super Crooks, The Secret Service, Death Sentence and Homesick. The title was officially renamed Mark Millar's CLiNT from August 2012, one issue into volume two. The title "CLiNT", which is always written in upper-case but with a lower-case "i", is a deliberate comics industry in-joke; traditionally, when comics printing techniques were somewhat less sophisticated than they are now and when it was customary for all text to be upper-case, writers were obliged to avoid the name "Clint" in case the print ran and caused the "L" and the "I" to run together and form a "U" (the word "flick" was avoided for the same reason).
