One of the things about comics is people can linger on images and words as long as they want.

There hasn't been enough change in comics to suit me. I don't know why exactly.

I feel when a writer treats a character as 'precious,' the writer runs the risk of turning them into a comic book character. There's nothing wrong with comic book characters in comic books, but I don't write comic books.

It may be true that the only reason the comic book industry now exists is for this purpose, to create characters for movies, board games and other types of merchandise.

Comics fans want new stuff that looks exactly like the old stuff. It is hard for the publishers, and even the audience, to change something.

I don't think the potential for comics in nonfiction has been exploited nearly as much as it could be.

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

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.

When you write for a comic series, many superheroes have 60 or some years of history that you are coming into.

I think character is permanent, and issues are transient.
