I genuinely am sort of an emotionally stunted man-child, so if I just write to the top of my intelligence, it sounds like a teenager. I like being around teenagers. It's good for drama; they feel everything much more intensely than adults do, their lives are much more interesting than ours. They're mutants. They have these weird bodies that are rebelling against them and changing every day. Teenagers always equal good drama.
Brian K. VaughanAfter 9/11, I knew I wanted to write about power and identity and the way Americans on all sides of the political spectrum often mythologize our leaders, which are themes that the superhero genre has always handled really well.
Brian K. VaughanJust go out there and get your heart broken in, so it'll be ready when you really need it.
Brian K. VaughanI love that the book [Paper Girls ] gets to kind of evolve and change in each era. Our third storyline is our best so far.
