Comics brought me to the dance. It'll always be my first loyalty.

We're always looking roughly 30 years behind us. In the '80s they were obsessed with the '50s and so on.

People just want good stories.

Just go out there and get your heart broken in, so it'll be ready when you really need it.

I'm not afraid of the world. I'm afraid of a world without you.

I've been fortunate enough to travel to comic conventions in Portugal, France, Canada, and it's an honor to get to meet people from all over the world.

It's just people who grew up in that time are suddenly old enough to be creators themselves, but I think they have a little perspective. I'm 40 now, and I have children of my own. Before I forget my own childhood completely, I want to take some time to take a look at the '80s and think back.
