The bottom line always remains the same: What is the basic humanity of the character? How do I make them resonate with the reader?

My father brought me my first stack of comics, when I was seven years old and in the hospital. I was not a well child. And that's where my love for comics began.

It's all about who's where on the food chain. When I'm the story editor, I expect my writers to follow my vision. When I'm working for another editor, I'm obliged to follow their vision.

If a story isn't working, I'm simply unable to finish it. That's what usually tells me something is wrong.

I've never had to work out of the arts. I've always either been a writer or an editor, or something where I've made my living from doing what I love. You can't get any better than that.

People who were more concerned with themselves and looking good to their readers then they were with the characters sacrificed a series for the sake of a story.

I always wanted to fire rays out of my fingertips.
