I don't necessarily write everything as automatically assuming it will be collected, there's nothing that says Hitman will be collected, though it might be.

If you look at Marvel Comics, there are very few Marvel characters I would like to write.

Howard Chaykin was one of the few who dared to make mainstream comics different back in the eighties; it was guys like him, Alan Moore and Frank Miller who made sure there'd be no going back. Howard's work on The Shadow is amongst his very best: razor-sharp character work, sizzling dialogue and an unsurpassed sense of layout and design.

I tend to forget what I'm doing will ever be read while I'm writing it, and just get on with the task at hand.

You work for the devil, you better be ready to die for him.

With a mini series you can give the story a proper sense of pacing, a proper sense of closure.

I've seen a fair bit of the States and the rest of the world, and I'm convinced that there's nowhere I'd be happier, there's nowhere I'm missing out on because I'm in NY.
