I think a lot of creators are attracted to those toys they got to play with when they were young, and everyone wants to write a Superman story or a Batman story or a Spider-Man story. I don't know, if it's been successful for me, it should be successful for anyone. "Hit the ground with your feet running" is the secret of breaking new characters when it seems like no one else is having any luck.

In film, you have the luxury of accomplishing what you need in 24 frames every second. Comics, you only have five or six panels a page to do that.

Fantasy/science-fiction stories have been around almost as long as each genre, but every hybrid now lives in the shadow of 'Star Wars.'

Comics are essentially films with fewer frames per second.

I am a big theater fan. It's mostly just being pretentious, I think, and trying to look smart.

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

Each collected edition of Paper Girls that we put out will largely be set in an entirely different era.
