I'm a commercial writer, not an author. Margaret Mitchell was an author. She wrote one book.

If the public likes you, you're good. Shakespeare was a common, down-to-earth writer in his day.

The first chapter sells the book; the last chapter sells the next book.

My father was Catholic, my mother was Protestant, and because of that I got Christened in both churches, so I've got all these names... but my Dad always called me Mick.

Oh yeah, I was one of the first guys writing comic books, I wrote Captain America, with guys like Stan Lee, who became famous later on with Marvel Comics.

I started off at the high level, in the slick magazines, but they didn't use my name, they used house names. Anyway, then I went downhill to the pulps, then downhill further to the comics.

If I need something, I'll invent it.
