This quote highlights the artistic potential of comic books, emphasizing that they should be appreciated as serious, narrative-driven works akin to novels. It challenges the common perception of comics as purely short, casual entertainment, advocating for recognition of their depth and storytelling richness. By viewing comics as long-form stories, readers and creators can explore complex characters, intricate plots, and meaningful themes, elevating the medium's status and encouraging its growth as a respected art form.

When you hear a true story, there is a part of you that responds to it regardless of art, regardless of evidence. Let it be the most obvious fabrication and you will still believe whatever truth is in it, because you can not deny truth no matter how shabbily it is dressed. — Orson Scott Card Xenocide

You will go on and meet someone else and I'll just be a chapter in your tale, but for me, you were, you are and you always will be, the whole story.
