A Quote by Taran Killam

Comic books are a big passion of mine. — © Taran Killam
Comic books are a big passion of mine.
I grew up reading comic books. Super hero comic books, Archie comic books, horror comic books, you name it.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I'm a big illustration and comic book fan. In my eyes, comic books and illustration are the same kind of art forms.
Look, I had a passion for comic books growing up.
It used to be that comic strips were the big thing, and comic books were toilet paper.
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.
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.
To paint comic books as childish and illiterate is lazy. A lot of comic books are very literate - unlike most films.
I'm constantly trying to mine the DNA of John Constantine and stay true to that character in the comic books.
I still love comic books. When you have a kid, that's an excuse to keep reading all the comic books.
Horses will never be my career. It's just a big passion of mine, and one that will always be there in the background, but football is my main passion and everyone knows that.
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.
