I think too many comic book covers are way too busy, crammed with far too much information, both visual and verbal, that just becomes a dull noise.

If you intend to die, you can do anything.

Never fall in love with an idea. They're whores: if the one you're with isn't doing the job, there's always, always, always another.

Life is a life-long assignment that must be constantly analyzed, clarified, figured out, and responded to appropriately.

Hey, have you heard that one about the difference between me, Wit, and my loutish cousin, Hilarity? No? Okay, so I walk into a bar, you see, very unassuming, and order a martini. Then the bartender, Hilarity, hauls off and squirts me in the face with a seltzer bottle, ruining my n ice new camel hair suit, dousing my monocle and my watch fob, soaking my cravat. So, do I let him have what for, and blow my top? I do not. I simply say: Sorry, I believe I said 'very dry'.

A book cover is a distillation. It is a haiku of the story.

Antisappointment. Anticipation colliding head-on with the certainty of its own doom.
