Quality. That's the first word, the one word that comes to mind when I think of the books published by Abrams. In a world where so many companies are willing to cut corners, to do things the easy way in order to enhance the bottom line, it's gratifying to know that there's one company that obviously takes such pride in its finished product, one company that can always be counted on to design and produce a book that is, itself, as much a work of art as the illustrations on its pages.

I'm not a guy who gets inspirations.

I think people have always loved things that are bigger than life, things that are imaginative.

What the hell could you do? I've never been arrested, I haven't taken drugs, I've had the same wife for 54 years; where's anything of interest to people?

I never thought that Spider-Man would become the world wide icon that he is. I just hoped the books would sell and I'd keep my job.

If you're writing about a character, if he's a powerful character, unless you give him vulnerability I don't think he'll be as interesting to the reader.

Fans are almost always nice. I really find that they rarely come on too strong.
