The trouble with being a ghostwriter or artist is that you must remain rather anonymously without credit. If one wants the credit, one has to cease being a ghost and become a leader or innovator.

I was involved with the Batman. There are two sides to every story. Now you've heard my side.

I didn't have the time to literally write and draw the strip at the same time.

Although Bill Finger literally typed the scripts in the early days, he wrote the scripts from ideas that we mutually collaborated on. Many of the unique concepts and story twists also came from my own fertile imagination.

I intend to explode the myths about myself and get down to the real truth about the legend that is Batman.

What I read is so distorted that I cannot believe that the person they are talking about is myself.

To me, it's not work. When I draw and I write, I find it relaxing. It's not like 9-to-5, where a man goes to a job and he isn't really interested in the job. Luckily, I get paid for doing what I'd do for nothing.
