I Grew Up On The Crime Stuff. Spillane, Chandler, Jim Thompson, And Noir Movies Like Fuller, Orson Welles, Fritz Lang. When I First Showed Up In New York To Write Comics Back In The Late 1970s, I Came With A Bunch Of Crime Stories But Everybody Just Wanted Men In Tights.

'cartoonists' Dirty Secret Is That We Tend To Come Up With Stories That Involve Things That Are Really Fun To Draw.
