Comics Seldom Move Me The Way I

I Think I've Had The Fantasy Of A Ray-gun That Could Erase The World From The Time I Was A Very Little Kid.

I've Had A Real Lucky Time Working In Hollywood. I've Talked To Other Screenwriters, And They're All Kind Of Beaten Down And Their Spirits Are Crushed, Because They Work On These Screenplays And These Projects, And Then Directors Either Take Them And Change Everything, Rewrite Them And Make Them Worse, Or They Film Them And They're Nothing Like How They Imagined It To Be.

I Try To Only Work On The Screenplays For A Few Hours A Day When I'm In My Most Voluble Mood, Just Sort Of Writing Whatever Comes Into My Head. It's A Very Freeing Thing.

Surely Comics Require More Effort On The Part Of The Reader Than Movies Or Television. I'm Always Learning New Things You Can Do With Comics That Wouldn't Work In Any Other Medium, And Often They Require The Need To Process A Lot Of Dense Information. Of Course, The Trick Is To Make The Complicated Seem Effortless And Spontaneous.

I Have This Certain Vision Of The Way I Want My Comics To Look; This Sort Of Photographic Realism, But With A Certain Abstraction That Comics Can Give. It's Kind Of A Fine Line.
