I See Myself In Everything I Write.

I Do Know That People Enjoy Reading A Comic Book And Saving It And Collecting The Comics. And Sharing Them And Trading Them With Friends. That May Be Something You Can't Do As Easily With Digital Comics.

When You're Seventeen Years Old, What Do You Know? I Said, "sure, I Can Do It!" And That Was It.

From 1940 To About 1960, I Had Been Writing Just Regular Comics, The Way My Publishers Wanted Me Too. He Didn't Want Me To Use Words Of More Than Two Syllables If I Could Help It. He Didn't Want Me To Waste Time On Worrying About Good Dialogue Or Characterization. Just Give Me A Lot Of Action, Lot Of Fight Scenes.
