I think comics have far more potential than a lot of people realize.

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

I wanted to write literature that pushed people into their lives rather than helping people escape from them.

Im pretty aggressive, and maybe obnoxious, about trying to get work.

I think you can find all the elements that you can find in great literature in mundane experiences.

People will believe absurd things - in the 19th century and now.

I thought I had a great opportunity when I started doing my comic book in 1972. I thought there was so much territory to work in.
