I've written about teenage heroes before, on Marvel's Runaways, and I remember at the time when I pitched it, it was a team that had more female members than males. Even that caused of much discussion about, "Will there be a market for this, and should there at least be equal number of male and females?"

Every issue, the characters and I duke it out. They usually win.

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

I grew up with a sister I was very close with and a mom who was a powerful influence on my life. I was always close with women.

Okay, is anyone else worried that some of the fruit didn't fall far enough away from the tree?

I've never had any interest in retelling stories from my youth.

It was interesting looking back at the '80s and trying to find newspaper headlines from the time - the cliché of history repeating itself.
