I realize that I'm pretty flawed, but you know - I haven't killed anybody yet.

Even a pretty traditional comic book writer can make valuable contributions to the Internet.

I think the people who would be the least interested in my work would be people who read lots of comic books.

I always wanted praise and I always wanted attention; I won't lie to you. I was a jazz critic and that wasn't good enough for me. I wanted people to write about me, not me about them. So I thought, What could I do? I can't sing, I can't dance, I can't act or anything like that. OK, I can write.

I try and write the way things happen. I don't try and fulfill people's wishes

I've probably had my day in the sun. I think I've influenced a lot of comic book writers

I'm doing research for a large comic book on the Beat Generation guys - Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac and those guys
