This is a profession for me, but I started off as a self-publisher working on my own schedule and my own stuff before moving on to graphic novels with First Second Books, where there was definitely a schedule, but it was very different from monthly comics.

I've wanted to write comics ever since I figured out it was a job.

I like learning things, and I like that writing comics is an excuse to look into new stuff and research and learn new things and hopefully put them in books.

By and large, I think that comics work seriously hard. Many have other jobs as well, plus you never really switch off, so you're always working.

That's the biggest part of doing comics: You have to create stuff that makes you want to get out of bed every morning and get to work.

I'm sure that no matter what I'm involved in, I'll always be doing comics, at least in some minor capacity.

For most of my career I did one comic a day, every day, including weekends and holidays.

I tend to like writing long stories in comics. I worked on 'Flash,' 'Teen Titans' and 'JSA' for years. I always like diving into characters.

Now when I'm not working, I don't really hang out with the young comics.
