It's extremely seldom that anybody wants me to change what I've written about them. Generally I portray them in a good light, if they're friends

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

Am I a guy who writes about himself in a comic book, or am I just a character in that book? If I die, will that character keep going, or will he just fade away?

I don't write about certain arguments I have with my wife. I'd get my head torn off if wrote about certain things.

I just continue to be kind of disappointed that people don't realize that and try and diversify the kind of work they are doing in comics.

People who are readers of fiction aren't particularly interested in comic books.
