Whatever I write, no matter how gray or dark the subject matter, it's still going to be a comic novel.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I used to describe myself as a comic novelist, but my concerns seem to have darkened over the past few years.
I don't do a comic book thinking there is a movie. I just want it to be as good a comic book as it can be.
I'm more into graphic novels than comic books.
Sometimes even when the book is over I don't know who's good and who's bad. It's really more interesting, I think, to write about gray characters than it is to write about black and white.
I'm a comic book fan.
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.
In a culture defined by shades of gray, I think the absolute black and white choices in dark young adult novels are incredibly satisfying for readers.
I wouldn't ever presume to say that I am a comic book fan.
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.
Anybody who knows me knows I would never read a comic book.
