When Superman came out it galvanized the entire industry. It's just part of the American scene.

Kid ... Comics will break your heart.

Perfectionists are their own devils.

My monsters were lovable monsters. I gave them names - some were evil and some were good. They made sales, and that's always been my prime object in comics.

It's not in the draftsmanship, it's in the man. Like I say, a tool is dead. A brush is a dead object. It's in the man. If you want to do it, you do it.

The people who worked in comics were terrific guys. I had a good association with them, and I enjoyed comics for that very reason.

I don't want to take somebody else's beating. That makes me unhappy.
