I Guess You Can Stay Sort Of

I'm The One Who Steps From The Shadows, All Trenchcoat And Cigarette And Arrogance, Ready To Deal With The Madness. Oh, I've Got It All Sewn Up. I Can Save You. If It Takes The Last Drop Of Your Blood, I'll Drive Your Demons Away. I'll Kick Them In The Bollocks And Spit On Them When They're Down And Then I'll Be Gone Back Into Darkness, Leaving Only A Nod And A Wink And A Wisecrack. I Walk My Path Alone... Who Would Walk With Me?

It Would Have Shown People That I Was Prepared To Do That Kind Of Work, Although I Find Myself In A Position Now Where I Don't Really Need To And I Could Pick And Choose The Kind Of Characters I'd Like To Do.

Most Regular Superhero Books Are Designed To Go On Forever; Of Course, Very Few Of Them Do, But The Point Is They Are Trying To Throw Mud Against The Wall And Hope It Will Stick, And Most Of It Slides Off.

The Comics I Read As A Kid Were Much More Influenced By Tv And Movies. Encountering Superheroes As An Adult Without That Kind Of Childhood Sentimentality, It Just Doesn't Allow You, Or In My Case At Least, It Wouldn't Let Me Take The Characters Seriously.

It's Nice To Be In A Situation Where The Two Books That I Write For A Sort Of Regular Monthly Income Are Also Works That I Enjoy Immensely, Rather Than Them Being Some Kind Of Bread And Butter, Do It Because You Have To Do It.
