An Old Man Dies. A Young Woman

Gotham City. Clean Shafts Of Concrete And Snowy Rooftops. The Work Of Men Who Died Generations Ago. From Here, It Looks Like An Achievement. From Here, You Can't See The Enemy.

Comic-book Pages Are Vertical, And Movie Screens Are Relentlessly Horizontal. But It's All The Same Form. We Use Different Tools, But We Get The Job Done. I'm Completely In Love With Cgi. It's Great For Conveying A Cartoonist's Sense Of Reality.

"comic Book" Has Come To Mean A Specific Genre, Not A Story Form, In People's Minds. So Someone Will Call Die Hard "a Comic-book Movie," When It Has Nothing To Do With Comic Books. I'd Rather Have Comics Be The Vehicle By Which Stories Are Told.

The Comics I Read As A Kid Were All About Guys In Tights. But Here Was A Guy Who Wore A Fedora. He Fought Crime Like They Did In Marvel And Dc, But He Did It In The Real World. I Had Just Turned 12 When I Met The Spirit And It Was A Strange Coincidence. At The Same Time I Discovered Girls I Fell Out Of Love With Guys In Tights.
