On the whole, and this comment can get me in a lot of trouble, I find that retailers in the comic book business are not business people. They're fans who've gotten themselves shops.

If you'd rather go to the football game than read a comic, that's fine. I'd rather do both.

The first thing you need to run for President is a budget of around $20 million dollars a day.

I've done work for hire. I've worked for DC and Dark Horse.

In the Second World War, they're talking about the Japanese traitors and putting them into concentration camps. But companies like DuPont had factories in Germany turning out stuff for the German Army.

Comedy, at least the way I write comedy, is just drama with jokes.

Since the Gulf War, since the new World Order, America is now the number one arms dealer in the world.

The other thing is this industry has decided it only has one market. Unlike any other industry in the world, unlike film or books or sports even, this industry has decided it has only one market and that's 14 year old boys.

I mean, price is price. It's just where you want to spend your money.
