I think that superhero comics in particular are really useful for talking about big emotions and feelings, and personifying and concretizing symbols.

I use everything. Turning life into stories is how I make sense of my experience. No matter how weird or disturbing or upsetting to me personally, it all finds its way in there.

I prefer working out of strict continuity, because no normal human being can have a firm grip on the constantly shifting bardo-like territory of a comics universe, where entire histories can be erased by a strong enough super-sneeze.

It's so horrible to realize you're just the same as everyone else, isn't it?

I couldn't think of one clever way to stop this guy, so I just trusted to mindless violence.

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.

There's a palace in your head, boy. Learn to live in it always.
