One of the key characteristics of the comic book medium is that it is not brought to life by just one voice.

Comics is a language. It's a language most people understand intuitively.

Comics, in a sense, the style, the images - it's almost like music. They say music is a universal language, but when the eyes behold something, a figure, somebody moving; it's real, and it cannot be denied.

I think the genre of comics sometimes overtakes the medium, and people assume that they are kind of frivolous. If you have a good, strong story teller, they can be as affecting as any character in literature. Period.

Comics, at least in periodical form, exist almost entirely free of any pretense; the critical world of art hardly touches them, and they're 100% personal.

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

I think comics have far more potential than a lot of people realize.

So much of comics are dictated by characters talking to one another - or in focused spaces where 'the camera' has to stay in pretty close on what's going on.

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

The comics work is very slow, and it basically involves working for sometimes years in isolation and not knowing how the work is going to be received.
