It's very strange for me to do a comic book for my first movie. But I used to collect - and I love - comic books.
When I was a kid, I used to be way more nerdy about comic books and comic book characters. I still love them, but I don't collect anymore.
I'm not too picky about guitars. I love to collect them, mostly oddballs, but I'm not married to any brand or model. Whatever guitar has the best character for the song is the one I want to use, because if you've got a style, you're going to sound like yourself no matter what guitar you play.
I used to collect comic books. I had a substantial collection. I collect records also, but those have gone the way of the world.
I grew up reading comic books. Super hero comic books, Archie comic books, horror comic books, you name it.
When I was coming up, I kept a ton of comic books, almost 300 comic books. Back in the day, they didn't used to cost that much, so I used to keep 'em, collect 'em, trade 'em.
We can't really make a living doing comic books, despite the fact that would be an awfully fun way to make a living.
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.
My brother and I used to collect comic books in San Francisco.
I was a huge comic book fan as a kid. The only problem I had with comic books is how expensive they got. I didn't have a lot of money, so I had to be very specific about what I wanted to collect. I think they're all somewhere in the basement of my folks' house.
I want to show there's an edgier side of people who love comic books. And there are people who don't look like you and me who do read comic books and who love artists.
I still love comic books. When you have a kid, that's an excuse to keep reading all the comic books.
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.
I love being on the road, but to make a living as a road comic, you have to be on it most weeks out of the year. That's just too much for me. But I would love to be such a successful road comic that I don't have to go on it every week.
I suppose I could collect my books and get on back to school, or steal my Daddy's cue and make a living out of playing pool.
I don't collect books just because other people collect them, and I'm not going to have books in my collection if I think it's badly written.
