I've always felt that the comic strip medium stands equally beside all the other story telling mediums: novels, movies, stage plays, opera, you know, you name it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Comics is a great medium to get a lot of stories out.
I think the genre of comics sometimes overtakes the medium, and people assume that they are kind of frivolous. If you have a good, strong story teller, they can be as affecting as any character in literature. Period.
Comic books and graphic novels are a great medium. It's incredibly underused.
We relate comics to the main super-heroes, but it's a great medium through which all sorts of stories are told.
The audience for comics has shifted dramatically. And the boundaries between books and fine arts have blurred. Maybe it's the globalization of fine art through the Internet - it's easy for certain groups to coalesce around a certain kind of work or medium.
I love the medium and I love individual comics, but the business is nothing I would be proud of.
I draw on a lot of cinematic influences like Ingmar Bergman and Wim Wenders, artists who let a story take its time. Comics are a visual medium, and visuals should be allowed to tell some of that story.
I guess I don't have much interest in writing straight drama. So whatever subject matter I choose will ultimately be dealt with in a comic way.
I just really respond to comics. I find it a really exciting medium.
I believe that the story is the most important element of any medium whether it's theater, film, TV.
