As far as the world was concerned, from 1979 to 1996, I didn't publish any original material; it just wasn't there.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
In Germany I have been acknowledged again since the fall of Hitler, but my works, partly suppressed by the Nazis and partly destroyed by the war; have not yet been republished there.
I struggled for a long time to get anything published.
I didn't care where my works were published.
I have been a journalist, off and on, since I was 17. I was a copy boy for the 'New York Times,' when it had an edition in Paris, in 1963. I sold the paper in the streets by day and tore wire copy off the tele-printer for the editors making up the edition by night.
Publishing is in a kind of Jurassic age.
That and the fact that I knew that nobody was going to publish my work at Dark Horse or DC or anywhere.
I'd never been published when I was young.
Publishing is not my world.
What I feel bad about is not having published very much in the last few years.
I cannot claim to have had a hard time publishing.
