We describe [Paper Girls] as Stand By Me meets Terminator.It's a story about nostalgia and childhood, but with an action-packed, sci-fi bent.

They hurt you. You hurt 'em back. Or maybe it is the other way around. Whatever. Someday you might find a way to forgive each other. But it won't be like it used to 'cause that pain never really goes away.

If a good editor will let me tell my story with the right artist, I'm happy.

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

Comics are essentially films with fewer frames per second.

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.

After ten years of toiling away in Hollywood, I realized that there's no better place for new ideas than comics.
