I Thought It Would Be Great To

I Think Comics Will Always Be Around. I Think There's Something Nice About A Comic Book. People Love To Hold 'em, Turn The Pages, Fold 'em Up, Roll 'em Up, Stick 'em In Their Back Pocket, Show 'em To A Friend, And Say, "hey, Look At This."

The Comics Of Course, Help The Movies, Because All Of The Comic Fans Want To See The Movies. And The Most Amazing Thing About It Is These Movies Seem To Appeal To Young People, To Old People, And To People All Over The World. They're As Popular In China And Latin America As They Are Here. That's Really Amazing And Gratifying.

I Think The Way You Become A Good Storyteller Is To Read A Lot Of Stories And Evaluate Them In Your Own Mind.

I'm Afraid I Go Through The Same Thing All The Time.

Once, I'd Written A Western Story, And One Of The Panels Was Just A Hand Holding A Six-shooter, And There Was A Puff Of Smoke Coming Out Of The Barrel, And A Straight Horizontal Line, Indicating The Trajectory Of The Bullet. So That Page Was Sent Back To Me From The Code Office, Saying That The Particular Panel Was Too Violent. I Asked Them What They Meant, And They Told Me--i Swear--"the Puff Of Smoke Is Too Big." Well, Of Course. So I Had The Artist Make The Smoke A Little Smaller, And The Youth Of America Was Saved.
