I try to do things in comics that cannot be repeated by television, by movies, by interactive entertainment.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It seemed to me you could do anything in comics. So I started doing my thing, which is mainly influenced by novelists, stand-up comedians, that sort of thing.
The most frustrating part of working in TV and film is that you have to convince someone to let you make what you want; in comics you can do whatever you want and for 1% of the budget of TV and film.
I'm sure that no matter what I'm involved in, I'll always be doing comics, at least in some minor capacity.
I live making comics. Comics is an industrial art but less suffering, because comics are for young people who are more adventurous. I do that. I live off comics, and then I write books, but when you want movies, you cannot make movies without money.
Comics as art. I do comics as comics, and my opportunity to tell stories. Simple. Basic. Let the characters have the excitement, not the package. That's where I come from.
I love comics. Comics are something I've always wanted to do.
Write comic books if you love comic books so much that you want to write them. Don't write them like movies. Comics can do a lot of things that movies can't do, and vice versa.
Comics are a particularly esoteric field where you really learn how to do it, by doing it or by learning from other practitioners.
You know, I've never been a comic book person, just because that's not my gig and I don't have a television.
I think you can do anything with comics that you could do in just about any art form.
