If You Are Interested In What You

Nobody Likes To Be Preached To.

I Have A Reputation For Doing Superheroes, But I Like All Kinds Of Writing. In Fact, Hardly Anybody Knows This, But I've Probably Written As Many Humor Stories As Superhero Stories.

Comics Are Stories; They're Like Novels Or Anything Else. So The First Thing You Have To Do Is Become A Good Storyteller.

I Used To Be Embarrassed Because I Was Just A Comic-book Writer While Other People Were Building Bridges Or Going On To Medical Careers. And Then I Began To Realize: Entertainment Is One Of The Most Important Things In People's Lives. Without It They Might Go Off The Deep End. I Feel That If You're Able To Entertain People, You're Doing A Good Thing.

Jack [kirby] And Joe [simon] Wrote And Drew The Stories Themselves In The Beginning And I Was Just, Like, The Office Boy. But After A While They Had More Writing Than They Could Handle And I Was The Only Guy Around, So They Said, "hey Stan, You Think You Can Write This?" When You're Seventeen Years Old, What Do You Know? I Said, "sure, I Can Do It!" And That Was It.
