I tend not to look at my work after I've done it. In fact, the only time I typically get to review it is when the fans bring up comics at shows, and I kind of flip through it and be like, 'Oh, I remember doing this!'

From Jim Lee

Superman is the hardest character to draw. There are a couple of things that make him difficult. He's got a very simple costume and doesn't have the long cape like Batman. He's not a character that is necessarily always in shadow, and he doesn't have a mask.

From Jim Lee

Superman tends to stand very upright, and he's very symmetrical, and those are actually the most difficult poses for me to draw.

From Jim Lee

So much of comics are dictated by characters talking to one another - or in focused spaces where 'the camera' has to stay in pretty close on what's going on.

From Jim Lee

Any time you change something classic or iconic, you're going to have some part of the fan base up in arms.

From Jim Lee

Once I started down the path of co-founding Image Comics, and even co-publisher, it just seems a lot more like a career path that isn't that atypical for someone with a college degree. Whereas, someone who draws comic books as a freelancer and lives from job to job is a more unusual story.

From Jim Lee

I think when you're knee-deep in coming up with editorial plans, the desire to sit down and pencil something is pretty strong.

From Jim Lee

There are a lot of global decisions that you can make as a co-publisher, and only publishers can make those kind of decisions. At the same time, there are some things you can do only as a penciler or creator. I want to keep my hands in both pots, so to speak.
