There's a very big part of me that just wants to take all of comics history and toss it on the bonfire. I'd sort of like to get on to the future.

The idea that comics stores, distributors and publishers simply 'give the customers what they want' is nonsense. What the customers wanted they didn't get - and they left.

The ancestors of printed comics drew, painted and carved their time-paths from beginning to end, without interruption, ... the infinite canvas.

Form and content must never apologize for each other.

All through my comics career, I was always trying to reinvent the form.

I wouldn't necessarily have been making books about how to make comics if I'd really felt I knew how to make comics.

I've always been very forward-looking, and it was actually kind of difficult to turn my gaze backwards to look at comics history.
