For a while I felt very alone; sort of out there in the world of comics, especially here in the States

People who can pull you in and take you on a journey, as opposed to simply adding flash. Again, that feels very clinical, and I don't respond to that the way I used to

It's interesting, because in the corporate stuff there's a dichotomy there, depending on the creator. Even what, in essence, may be a very safe corporate approach, there is some stuff that is allowed to be pushed

Like Godfather, you look at a movie like that, or something that James Gray has directed, a film with minimal or pin lighting as opposed to everything being lit bright and flat, where everything is evident

Nothing is really media driven or committee driven, so you can actually just produce something

And that, to me, is the main attraction to comics. It's an avenue to say what you want to say
