Sometimes I look at some of my old work and I don't like it.

I started out wanting to be a straight adventure cartoonist, but in 1979 realized what my real bag was.

I have my heroes. Some of whom are still alive, and unfortunately many that aren't.

If I wanted to own some Jack Kirby original art unless it was something that Giacoia or Sinnott had inked I was too close to it. I didn't want to collect his pages inked by me. Of course 40 years later I'd LOVE to have some of that stuff.

I will say that I'm proud of my connection to DC comics because they are absolutely fabulous in sending reprint royalty checks.

I was with Roy Thomas on a panel and he turned to me and said, "You know, your name is on the cover a magazine every month." I said, "Really?" He pulled out a copy of "Destroyer," and said, "If you cover up the DEST you've got Royer on the cover every month."

I moonlighted during a two-week vacation, doing a month's worth of work in two weeks; it almost killed me, but I wanted to stretch my muscles and the letter from the producer says, "Your storyboarding is Eisensteinian," referring to the famous Russian filmmaker.
