I Think People Have Always Loved Things

To My Way Of Thinking, Whether It's A Superhero Movie Or A Romance Or A Comedy Or Whatever, The Most Important Thing Is You've Got To Care About The Characters. You've Got To Understand The Characters And You've Got To Be Interested. If The Characters Are Interesting, You're Half-way Home.

I'm No Prophet, But I'm Guessing That Comic Books Will Always Be Strong. I Don't Think Anything Can Really Beat The Pure Fun And Pleasure Of Holding A Magazine In Your Hand, Reading The Story On Paper, Being Able To Roll It Up And Put It In Your Pocket, Reread Again Later, Show It To A Friend, Carry It With You, Toss It On A Shelf, Collect Them, Have A Lot Of Magazines Lined Up And Read Them Again As A Series. I Think Young People Have Always Loved That. I Think They Always Will.

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.

To Tell You The Truth, I Never Thought Of Myself As Much Of A Success.

The Thing To Me That's Fun Is Trying To Make The Characters Seem Believable, Or Realistic. And It's Especially Challenging When You're Doing Fantasy Stories, When You're Doing Superhero Types Of Things.
