When someone writes to tell me something I've written made them laugh or cry, I've done my job and done it well. The rest is all semantics.

When I submitted samples, I had only written stories to give myself something to draw. I was told, "The art is good, but not quite professional yet. But, I like the writing." I've been a writer for almost a half a century. It's very cool.

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.

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.

I've always been the audience that I wanted to reach, so I write for myself.

I think there's something inherently dishonest in trying to go back and mess with the past.

I've never sat down and thought about the difference between plot and theme. To me, that's never been important.
