I tend to only read comics written by friends or people I've known. And I'm not a great comic reader.

I’m a false icon! The media collaborate in promoting my superficial lifestyle as somehow more valid, more worthy of attention than your real lives! - Gideon Stargrave

Life doesn't have plots and subplots and denouements. It's just a big collection of loose ends and dangling threads that never get explained.

It's always interesting to see what the real enthusiasts think, but they're rarely representative of the tastes of the wider audience, so I tend to write for myself, for an imagined smart 14-year-old, and for a couple of friends who are still big comics fans.

I'm lucky to have a job doing something I really love to do, and I'm happy to accept the pressures of relentless deadlines or reader expectations as necessary evils. It's probably not as stressful as mining coal or leading men into battle.

Truth speaks best in the language of poetry and symbolism, I think.

Consciousness, rather than being something that we have, is something we participate in.
