No Matter What You Write, It's A

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.

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 See Myself In Everything I Write. All The Good Guys Are Me.

I Used To Be Embarrassed Because I Was Just A Comic-book Writer While Other People Were Building Bridges Or Going On To Medical Careers. And Then I Began To Realize: Entertainment Is One Of The Most Important Things In People's Lives. Without It They Might Go Off The Deep End. I Feel That If You're Able To Entertain People, You're Doing A Good Thing.

To Me Everything Is Fun. I've Started Twittering Or Tweeting Recently And That's Been Fun.
