Spider-Man initially made me want to come to New York and work for Marvel; I wanted to be a comic book artist.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I was embarrassingly well-versed in Marvel lore, so it was pretty easy to slip into that world. But really, already, by the time I'd started writing superhero comics, my dream was really to be writing my own characters.
For English assignments I was constantly coming up with these strange adventure stories... But I actually wanted to be an artist, or maybe work in the comic book industry.
I wanted to become a cartoon artist, a portrait artist, and an illustrator. This was my first idea.
I wanted to be a cartoonist when I was young.
I always wanted to be a superhero.
I've wanted to write comics ever since I figured out it was a job.
When I first dropped into L.A., I wanted to be a superhero!
In many ways, my entire graphic novel career was a long diversion. Originally, all I wanted to do was to be an underground cartoonist and maybe bring out a groovy underground mag.
What made me want to go into doing comics was I was working as a laborer with my father, a gardener.
My first ambition was to be an animator for Walt Disney. Then I wanted to be a magazine cartoonist.
