Suspense is very important. Even though this is humor and they're short stories, that theory of building suspense is still there.
From Sergio Aragones
Anyone can write a story based on the kind of horror where you see a guy in car and then there's the bad guy in the back seat. It's infantile to rely on that for telling a story. That's like going to bed and thinking there's a monster under your bed. It's silly.
At the end of the '60s, I was trying to enter the world of comics.
Comics is a great medium to get a lot of stories out.
Eventually I would like to touch all the genres. I would like to do some detective stories, and I want to do a Western. I would want to do humorous Westerns.
For every issue, I send four pages of finished marginals and they select the ones they need.
Generally what I produce is new. Of course, they are often variations on the same subject.
I don't enjoy the boo scare when you're watching a movie and then suddenly there's a big shark on the screen. The only thing they're doing is catching you off guard.
I have 40 years of unpublished material, the ones they don't pick, and the reason I don't redraw them or use them again is that I like to use my brain every day and come up with new jokes.
I have always loved horror very much. I used to write stories for DC's House of Mystery. It was one of my first jobs writing for comics, and I loved it.
