I think if you want to do a thing properly you have to take a lot of care. I've always found it's easier to draw comics if you know clearly in your head what you're drawing, rather than if you try and make it up as you go along.

If you want to draw comics, you really have to love to draw, as you will be spending many hours sitting down with a pencil or pen in your hand.

When you're drawing comics, you get very involved in how the story is going to develop and you spend more time daydreaming on that particular subject.

I never really read comics. I bought them, and I would draw them.

Comics are such a powerful educational tool. Simply put, there are certain kinds of information that are best communicated through sequential visuals.

To paint comic books as childish and illiterate is lazy. A lot of comic books are very literate - unlike most films.

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

I'm a big illustration and comic book fan. In my eyes, comic books and illustration are the same kind of art forms.

Learning to write comics is, in fact, so bloody difficult because it's such a weird form that it does actually make you a bit more adaptable for other forms.

I always start drawing any job by planning out to some degree the locales and trying to nail the characters. If they're existing characters, I'll draw them several times on rough paper just to get a feeling for them. The ideal when you're drawing a comic is to have everything in your head, not to have to refer to notes.
