Comic Books To Me Are Fairy Tales

I Am Always Nostalgic Being In New York. Every Neighborhood Represents Something To Me. I Lived Here Until I Was 60 Years Old Or So. So It Was My Life.

I See Myself In Everything I Write. All The Good Guys Are Me.

Just Because You Have Superpowers, That Doesn't Mean Your Love Life Would Be Perfect. I Don't Think Superpowers Automatically Means There Won't Be Any Personality Problems, Family Problems Or Even Money Problems. I Just Tried To Write Characters Who Are Human Beings Who Also Have Superpowers.

I Remember When I Was A Kid, I Loved Sherlock Holmes. I Thought Arthur Conan Doyle Was One Of The Greatest Writers, Because I Felt I Knew Sherlock Holmes. He Existed To Me. When I Went To England The First Thing I Did Was Go To Baker Street To Look For His House. I Think You've Got To Try To Make All Of Your Characters As Empathetic And Realistic As Possible.

If You Have A Character That Seems To Be All Perfect, It's Hard To Relate To Him Because When You Read A Story You Really Want To Empathize With The Character That You Are Reading About. And It's Hard To Empathize With Someone Who Is Flawless And Who Has No Problems.
