But I was also a big mouth, I started to develop a troubled relationship with Harry Shorten.

I think the lack of precision and deep focus is why it took me years to build up my work.

Precision is not one of the qualities that comes out in my work.

Comics were going down for the second time and here, all of a sudden, came this thing and for the next fifteen years, romance comics were about the top sellers in the field; they outsold everything.

In other words, DC was never harmed by the paper shortages.

Coming into the business, you'd pass through these little agencies until you got to understand what was happening in the business, unless you were really able to have a style strong enough to go directly to the publishers.

If I had one quality that really ruined me and at the same time helped me, it was the fact that I never stopped looking, and by that time I was really working at it.
