A Quote by Alan Moore

To paint comic books as childish and illiterate is lazy. A lot of comic books are very literate - unlike most films.

I grew up reading comic books. Super hero comic books, Archie comic books, horror comic books, you name it.

Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa

I'm not ashamed of comic books. You have some people that are like, 'We're trying to elevate comic books.' Comic books have always told great dramatic stories.

Cheo Hodari Coker

I definitely read the comic books and got as familiar with the comic books as possible. I was always a fan of Spider-Man and most superheroes. There aren't a whole lot of little boys out there that aren't.

Comic books and films have a lot more in common than, say, comics and books or films and books. The two art forms, to me, seem like pretty close siblings.

Owen King

Comic books sort of follow with the move - if people see the movie and if they're interested in the character and want to see more of the character, they start buying the comic books. So a good movie helps the sale of the comic books and the comic books help the movie and one hand washes the other. So, I don't think there's any reason to think that comics will die out.

Stan Lee

...The lesson [comic books] taught children- or this child, at any rate- was perhaps the unintentionally radical truth that exceptionality was the greatest and most heroic of values; that those who were unlike the crowd were to be treasured the most lovingly; and that this exceptionality was a treasure so great that it had to be concealed, in ordinary life, beneath what the comic books called a 'secret identity'.

Salman Rushdie

I feel when a writer treats a character as 'precious,' the writer runs the risk of turning them into a comic book character. There's nothing wrong with comic book characters in comic books, but I don't write comic books.

Raymond E. Feist

I've been involved in lots of comic book stuff; I've done numerous films based on comic books and TV shows.

Jeffrey Dean Morgan

When I did get into comic books, it was after a whole other career, and when I got into comic books, they didn't even know who I was.

Neal Adams

I grew up with comic books, and I'm from the Caribbean, so comic books were really a great interrogator of American culture for me.

Winston Duke

I still love comic books. When you have a kid, that's an excuse to keep reading all the comic books.

Jimmy Kimmel

I actually don't read comic books. I did when I was a kid - I used to read a lot of 'X-Men' comic books. I read a couple 'Scott Pilgrim' this past year, and those are really good, but I don't read in general, unfortunately.

Charlyne Yi

In a sense, comic books are frozen movies. If you look at a comic book, you are generally seeing the storyboard for a film. The great advantage of comic books, over the years, has been that, if they are frozen movies, they are not limited by budget. They are only limited by imagination.

Michael Uslan

Ultimately, there's always been a link between comic books and video games, and comic books and movies, and then basically all three steadily becoming this sort of transmedia.

Troy Duffy

A lot of comic conventions go way beyond comic books and include other parts of pop culture, like celebrities and science fiction and movies and books. So I go to them either as a celebrity, or as a fan, because I'm a big sci-fi geek.

Jane Wiedlin

Well, I've been a big fan of comic books since I was a little kid. In fact, I used to write and draw my own comic books when I was on the old Lost in Space series.
