I Try Personally Not To Be Nostalgic.

For Example, I Noticed That Every Single Kid In The High School In 'the Death-ray' Is Based On Somebody I Went To High School With.

Comics Seldom Move Me The Way I Would Be Moved By A Novel Or Movie. I Say This As Someone Who Would Rather Read Comics Than Watch Movies, Listen To Music, Anything. But It's Not An Operatic Medium. I Hear Other People Talk About Being Moved To Tears By Comics. I Can't Imagine That.

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.

That's Been My Main Interest For The Last 15 Years, Is To Really Make Sure The Story And The Characters Take Precedence Over Everything Else, And That I Give Them Everything I Can To Make Them Exist As Actual People.

I Like To Leave A Little Room To Innovate And Change Things Around While I'm Working.
