comic designed harder japanese less realized repeat slowing somewhere
In a way, 'Sin City's designed to be paced somewhere between an American comic book and Japanese manga. Working in black and white, I realized that the eye is less patient, and you have to make your point, and sometimes repeat it. Slowing things down is harder in black and white, because there isn't as much for the eye to enjoy.
real book character
When I'm writing a comic book, I'm thinking about a character that I'm going to be drawing on the page. I've never drawn a character to look like who I want to cast in a movie because I don't think that way. I'm a real monomaniac. I do one thing at a time.
real character home
It's one thing to be sitting at a drawing board, alone in your home and coming up with a fantasy character, and drawing her whichever way you feel like drawing, then dealing with a real performer. All of a sudden, things change. It's amazing, in working with actors, how much I learn from them and how many new lines will come to mind because of their personality or their strengths.
being-real trying vote
But I'm not trying to convince anybody how to vote or how to live. Nobody's ever successfully accused me of being realistic.
turns i-realized ifs
I realized that I was about to turn 30, and Batman was permanently 29. And I was going to be damned if I was older than Batman.
jobs book reality
Comic-book pages are vertical, and movie screens are relentlessly horizontal. But it's all the same form. We use different tools, but we get the job done. I'm completely in love with CGI. It's great for conveying a cartoonist's sense of reality.
real hero dark
The larger-than-life thing is definitely what I'm after. I've always drawn dark stories. Occasionally, I'll try a perfect hero, but it's a real stretch for me. I like 'em warts and all, and obsessive and weird.
spin wild
The world, she do spin mad. These are wild times.
crosses imagine man passion powerful rage woman
Emotionally, it's really raw. Imagine the powerful rage when someone crosses the passion between a man and a woman or a man and his city.

I've always wanted to do crime stories. That's my favorite thing to read, ... I grew up reading Mickey Spillane, Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett. I always thought they would make excellent comic books.

I have been there at night working and people have come by wanting to help. As far as anybody being out of line down there, I haven't seen it.
