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

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

Unfortunately, there are writers whose only concern is how good they could make themselves look on a title.

The most unrealistic thing I've ever read in comics is when some group of characters calls themselves the Brotherhood of Evil or the Masters of Evil. I don't believe any character believes their goals to be truly evil.

These days, it seems that if you're not already in place, you can't get there from here.

The villain is always more entertaining because he has fewer limitations. The hero is bound by honor, by justice and by the law, sometimes.

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