I'm more into graphic novels than comic books.
The first comic I can remember ever reading was a 'Fantastic Four' issue that my dad bought out of the drugstore once. The thing that struck me about it was that the ending wasn't an ending. It was...
I started 'American Born Chinese' as a mini-comic. I would write and draw a chapter, photocopy a hundred or so copies at the corner photocopy store, and then try to sell them on consignment through...
I read comics and stuff. I buy a lot of comics, a lot of films and boxsets.
I've always liked the simplicity of the Black Panther costume. I've never liked when people give him flashy capes and other adornments.
Honestly, before I started working at the comic shop, I was not a huge comic reader. I grew up reading 'Archie' and have an incredible love/hate relationship with Archie Comics. I got back into it...
The real power of comics is writing as you draw.
The DC Universe has the best villains in fiction, right? I don't think there's any group of villains collectively or anywhere else that come close to DC's. Joker, Cat Woman, Lex Luthor, are all...
I'm wildly different than Maria Bamford or Sarah Silverman, and might be more similar to some male comics.
I really liked the design of Batman. I liked the concept. There's a lot more you can do with Batman than most other superheroes.
I read the comics long before I was ever involved with the films.
Someone told me that there's a connection to Superman, that in an early edition of the Green Lantern comics, Tomar Re was the envoy to Krypton. That was fascinating to me.
There are still plenty of people who want to burn me at the stake for my Wonder Woman run. And I can't really blame them, you know? That was my take on the character, and when people are invested in...
Unfortunately, when you look at the amount of comic book heroes out there, minority heroes are few and far between.
My one criticism of Vertigo Crime to date is that it's been a boys' club, reveling in violence that, while entertainingly lurid, lacks depth. Of course, the comics world is deliberately...
In some films it wouldn't be surprising to see the United States envisioned as a significant but not primary dominant marketplace, and treated accordingly. But in comics, that's for the governing...
I think there's a possibility that comic book movies are getting a tiny bit better on the one hand because they're no longer made by executives, who are, you know, ninety-year-old bald tailors with...
There are still some people out there who believe comic books are nothing more than, well, comic books. But the true cognoscenti know graphic novels are - at their best - an amazing blend of art,...
'Spawn' was my favorite growing up, but I loved 'X-Men' and the 'Hulk' too.
I had read the 'Wonder Woman' comic books when I was a child; I was much more interested in those than I was in 'Betty and Veronica,' even though I liked those as well.
Carl Barks and Don Rosa are two of my favorite cartoonists ever.
'Animal Man' and 'Swamp Thing' have so many commonalities in tone and mood.
My older brothers always collected comics and read them. When we were little, Robin and I would sneak into their room and take them and read them.
Motion comics are a medium all their own. It is certainly not animation, in which a large number of artists do tens and even hundreds of thousands of drawings. The animation, or 'the reality,' is...
Generally, I don't pencil, especially with the autobiographical comics, although I've usually planned out composition in my head during the scripting stage. I like to work directly in ink, to keep the...
My view is that comic books are meant to be long-form stories. They're meant to be novels.
I think the thinking is, in the comic books, I should pack as much onto a page as possible, because, you know, it's kind of the cheaper format, and you want to give readers as much as you can for...
Aquaman is one of the greatest characters at DC Comics and one of my favorites.
Looking back, I realize my favorite stories weren't in books, they were in comics. On top of being a history enthusiast, my father was also a comics fan, and he kept his stash in the top drawer of his...
You use a glass mirror to see your face; you use works of art to see your soul.
But that was war. Just about all he could find in its favor was that it paid well and liberated...
The TV business is uglier than most things. It is normally perceived as some kind of cruel and...
You better take care of me Lord, if you don't you're gonna have me on your hands.
It was the Law of the Sea, they said. Civilization ends at the waterline. Beyond that, we all enter...
Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.
The Edge... there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is...
If I'd written all the truth I knew for the past ten years, about 600 people - including me - would...
Silence is only frightening to people who are compulsively verbalizing.
