I used to describe myself as a comic novelist, but my concerns seem to have darkened over the past few years.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When I first began to write fiction, I didn't think I was a comic writer; I thought I was a serious writer. I was surprised when the first novel I wrote was regarded as a funny novel.
I'm more into graphic novels than comic books.
No, I'm not a comic book guy. I'm pretty fascinated with the subculture though and I do think that the world of comic books is such a natural transition into film.
I have a great affection for comics, and I think that people underrate comics as a genre.
I'm an actor, and I don't look at myself as providing comic relief. I have done diverse and dark roles such as a psycho, murderer, and others in films such as 'Don', 'Eklavya' and '3 Idiots.'
I've probably had my day in the sun. I think I've influenced a lot of comic book writers.
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.
When I was a young artist, I liked and was interested in belonging to the mainstream comics group. I didn't introduce myself as an author, but only as a designer.
I've met loads of black and brown and various people who are well into comics.
Whatever I write, no matter how gray or dark the subject matter, it's still going to be a comic novel.
