It wasn't until I discovered comics that I actually began to approach drawing as a possible career.

My first influences were superhero artists.

I don't think the potential for comics in nonfiction has been exploited nearly as much as it could be.

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.

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