I think comics have far more potential than a lot of people realize.

Comics is all about making it believable and helping people to get completely lost in a fictional world.

There are still some people out there who believe comic books are nothing more than, well, comic books. But the true cognoscenti know graphic novels are - at their best - an amazing blend of art literature and the theater of the mind.

Comics are given serious attention now and I'm quite surprised. You see them reviewed in major newspapers and exhibited in serious museums. I wouldn't have predicted it.

Comics shouldn't be 'tools' for anyone's agenda except for the characters. And I am speaking only of super hero action comics. I love many of the alternative comics that are like journalistic stories. Documentary comics, a mix of reportage and fiction. Those are just great.

In their heyday, comics were a dominant force in popular culture, but that's over.

I have a great affection for comics, and I think that people underrate comics as a genre.

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.

We're comic. We're all comics. We live in a comic time. And the worse it gets the more comic we are.
