I had a publisher who felt comics were just for little kiddies, so he never wanted me to use words of more than two syllables.

I hate being too serious about anything. If I'm with my friend, I want to be having fun with him or her. And if anybody is reading my story, I want them to be not only reading the story, but I want them to feel they're having fun; that they're enjoying it. So any way you can make it more informal, more fun-filled, more amusing - instead of just a dry story that goes on and on - if there's any way to do that, I like to try and do it.

Achilles, without his heel, you wouldn't even know his name today.

If you're going to write something, that's going to be read by people, a lot of people, you hope it will not only entertain them but maybe do them some good in some way.

I think I've got 12... Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Aquaman, Plastic-Man, Green Lantern, Sandman, The Justice League, The Atom Legion of Superheroes and Teen Titans.... Just about all of their top titles.

The only advice anybody can give is, if you wanna be a writer, keep writing. And read all you can, read everything.

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