The Comic Book Industry Has Turned Into

I Had Been Writing Comic Books For Years And I Was Doing Them To Please A Publisher, Who Felt That Comics Are Only Read By Very Young Children Or Stupid Adults. And Therefore, We Have To Keep The Stories Very Simplistic... And Those Were All Things I Hated.

What Did Doctor Doom Really Want? He Wanted To Rule The World. Now, Think About This. You Could Walk Across The Street Against A Traffic Light And Get A Summons For Jaywalking, But You Could Walk Up To A Police Officer And Say "i Want To Rule The World," And There's Nothing He Can Do About It, That Is Not A Crime. Anybody Can Want To Rule The World. So, Even Though He Was The Fantastic Four's Greatest Menace, In My Mind, He Was Never A Criminal!

I Always Sympathized With The People Who Did Work For Hire; I Was One Of Them.

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

I've Written So Many Things Over The Years That I Don't Want To Go Back To Being Just A Scriptwriter. I'm In What I Consider To Be The Enviable Position Of All I Have To Do Is Come Up With The Idea And Write An Outline That Makes It Seem Like It's A Viable Idea That Will Interest People, And Then Other People Write The Scripts -- And I Become The Executive Producer Or The Producer, Depending On How Much Involvement I Have, And I Get A Creative Credit And Then Move On To The Next Project.
