I always wanted to fire rays out of my fingertips.

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.

I was a very sickly kid. While I was in the hospital at age 7, my Dad brought me a stack of comic books to keep me occupied. I was hooked.

A true friend is someone who is there for you when he'd rather be anywhere else.

I became an art major, took every art class my school had to offer. In college, I majored in Advertising Art and Design.

Lord of the Rings, I think, is far and away the most brilliantly done stuff.

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.
