I think there's something inherently dishonest in trying to go back and mess with the past.

I hate the crazy, neurotic characters beyond a certain point.
children father years
My father brought me my first stack of comics, when I was seven years old and in the hospital. I was not a well child. And that's where my love for comics began.

writing matter buying
A writer writes. Period. No matter if someone is buying your work or not.
gone stories lenses
Sometimes you're not even sure which of your stories were failures. There are things I've written that I thought were complete catastrophes when I finished with them that have gone on to generate some of my most positive feedback.
art writing giving
When I submitted samples, I had only written stories to give myself something to draw. I was told, "The art is good, but not quite professional yet. But, I like the writing." I've been a writer for almost a half a century. It's very cool.
believe character evil
The most unrealistic thing I've ever read in comics is when some group of characters calls themselves the Brotherhood of Evil or the Masters of Evil. I don't believe any character believes their goals to be truly evil.

I would like immortality.

I always wanted to fire rays out of my fingertips.
trying rooms lenses
I try not to violate what came before me and to leave lots of wiggle room for those who will follow.
