For example, I noticed that every single kid in the high school in 'The Death-Ray' is based on somebody I went to high school with.

I started drawing at a very young age. Writing a story wasn't satisfying, but to actually draw our own world - it's like controlling your own dreams.

If I could have somehow been the kind of artist who could crank out two or three issues a year, that's different. That's sort of what it's all about, to get this thing out so that there's some kind of continuity. But to do a comic book every year or two was just so anti-climactic.

I have a very low tolerance for animation. I'm used to the perfect integrity you get from drawing your own comics. There's something about that that animation always loses.

I feel like I understood the language of comics. I had a real fluidity with that medium at a very early age.

I love the medium and I love individual comics, but the business is nothing I would be proud of.
