When I did 'Alien: Resurrection', a lot of the guys worked on planned production, and one of them was really into comic books and would draw all sorts of characters, and I was impressed with his sketches.

At some point, all comics have to go out and be retail salesmen doing door-to-door. And this idea of somebody who totally knows their craft having to get up for free in front of a crowd to work out some stuff they're thinking in their head, still, after as much success as you can get, is really interesting.

Every city you go to has television and radio talk shows that are dying to give young comics a showcase. They all want to be able to say that so-and-so started here, got his first break on this show.

There are great comic books, these great geniuses that manage to tell you a story in one frame, and that became the thing that opened my eyes.

Many in the creative professions were nerds in their pasts because they spent so long reading comics and using their imaginations when they were growing up.

Listen, people like Brian Bendis did great things for comic readers, great things for comic readers.

I'm supposed to be making comics, so I had to do it the best way I knew how, which is what those guys at the beginning of the Twentieth Century were doing.

I love comics and have since I was a kid. That is what gave me the idea to create my own.

That became a big time in comic books because it's when people were starting to break out into independent stuff, the market was getting choked with speculators and everybody was trying to do their own trick covers.

Comics is a great medium to get a lot of stories out.
