When I first learned about Abrams and saw the types of books they were making, I knew I wanted my books to be published by them. Abrams books are special-when you hold one in your hands, you have the feeling that this book needed to be made. I once heard an artist say that books are fetish objects-I think Abrams gets that, because their books demand to be treasured. So who better to give comics art its proper due? I feel privileged to have found a home with Abrams.

My advice to authors would be to try to do something original rather than to try to anticipate what the market is looking for.

I`m basically one of the best people I know.

You can't expect everyone to have the same dedication as you.
