It's absolutely chilling to think that I've been working on a comic-book series called 'Optic Nerve' since I was sixteen.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When I first started drawing the earliest incarnation of 'Optic Nerve,' I hadn't even been on a date; I hadn't had a romantic relationship of any kind yet, so in a way, I was almost writing science fiction.
I was into comic books as a kid.
I thought I had a great opportunity when I started doing my comic book in 1972. I thought there was so much territory to work in.
I came to comic books when I was about 15.
Writing this book feels like a completely different activity from writing my comic strip because it's about real life. I feel like I'm using a part of my brain that's been dormant until now.
When I started out in the eighties, the idea of creating serious comics for adults was pretty laughable to most folks, and for the longest time it was hard to even explain what alternative comics or graphic novels were. Nobody seemed to understand or care. Not so, any longer.
I love comic books and always did as a kid.
Comics are in my blood. It's my strange addiction, and I love it.
Well, I've been a big fan of comic books since I was a little kid. In fact, I used to write and draw my own comic books when I was on the old Lost in Space series.
I'm in a comic book now. That was cool. That's something that I'm still sorta reeling about, 'cause I read comics as a kid. Someone drew me, and actually did a pretty good job!
