When I'm my own editor, there's very little difference between the first draft and the final. I write what feels right to begin with. I rarely make any major changes.

It all depends on which side of the desk you're sitting on.

The curse of comic book adaptations, when I was younger, was that the director or producer would go, "Don't worry about it, it's just a comic book."

I had never really thought of myself as a writer; any writing I had done was just to give myself something to draw.

I try not to violate what came before me and to leave lots of wiggle room for those who will follow.

What makes a story is how well it manages to connect with the reader, the visceral effect it has.
