I'm just grateful to finally be telling a story with all females at the lead.

When a man carries an instrument of violence, he'll always find the justification to use it.

I like things that are weirdly imaginative and couldn't be real, but I also like stories that are recognizable and relatable.

I know I'm a grumpy old man, but I'm always more delighted by readers talking about the actual comics than people talking about how eager they are to have their favorite comics be "elevated" into another medium. Adaptations are great, but for me, comics have always been the destination, not a stepping-stone to get somewhere else.

There's a lot of dark stuff from the '80s that we don't think about.

I love that the book [Paper Girls ] gets to kind of evolve and change in each era. Our third storyline is our best so far.

Brubaker and Phillipss books have always been about eight years ahead of their time.
