When I was a kid, I used to send away for those ventriloquist kits on the back of comic books.
I vividly remember my first ‘Superman’ comic, which my granddad bought me when I was about 7. From that point on, all I wanted to do is draw comics. And specifically, superhero and science fiction comics. Basically I used to copy comic books, and draw my own comics on scrap paper.
It’s almost like these games are the modern day comic books, especially when you play Alone in the Dark. There’s a real story that goes along with it and a movie seemed like the right kind of transition to make.
I grew up reading comic books. Super hero comic books, Archie comic books, horror comic books, you name it.
I’m constantly trying to mine the DNA of John Constantine and stay true to that character in the comic books.
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 used to love comic books, and I love American comedy, and neither are afraid to tackle big themes.
I write books, I write for comic books, I give lectures… I live. And when the opportunity comes to do a picture, I do a picture.
Being into comic books is definitely an Americana thing.
I love written books and novels, but I really love graphic novels and comic books!
People who are readers of fiction aren’t particularly interested in comic books.
My favorite comic book growing up was ‘Thor.’ It was one of my three, favorite comic books. Obviously, Marvel is such a huge name, but for me, to book a role in a Marvel movie, and for it to be ‘Thor.’ When my manager told me I booked ‘Thor,’ I literally didn’t know what to say.
Kids don’t even read comic books anymore. They’ve got more important things to do – like video games.
I’ve always had a soft spot for comic books.
Once I started down the path of co-founding Image Comics, and even co-publisher, it just seems a lot more like a career path that isn’t that atypical for someone with a college degree. Whereas, someone who draws comic books as a freelancer and lives from job to job is a more unusual story.
I didn’t read a lot of comic books. But I was into ‘Dandy and The Beano,’ which were like a weekly pulp fiction that featured characters like Desperate Dan, Dennis the Menace, and Billy Whizz – pretty simplistic stuff but very entertaining.
I kind of backed into rap music. I thought I was going to do comic books or graphic art.
I want to read a lot of comic books. I want to watch movies. I want to rest.
