Kieron GillenSelf-publishing in comics is core to the whole artform. There is no scarlet letter in comics as there still is, to some degree, in prose.

Kieron GillenIโve always thought that if comics are a part of pop culture [then] they should reflect pop culture, but a lot of the time comics, superhero comics especially, just feed on themselves. For me, comics should take from every bit of pop culture that they can; theyโve got the same DNA as music and film and TV and fashion and all of these things.
