I was very sad to hear of the death of Ronnie Barker who was such a warm friendly and encouraging presence to have when I started in television. He was also a great comic actor to learn from.
I love the comic opportunities that come up in the context of a father-son relationship.
I'm in a comic book now. That was cool. That's something that I'm still sorta reeling about 'cause I read comics as a kid. Someone drew me and actually did a pretty good job!
When I was in school I read a lot of comic books and pretend I was in them and kids would tease me and call me names. But now I do the same things and people say that I'm artistic and cool and I'm doing the exact same thing I did in high school.
I thought Daredevil was kind of cool because he couldn't do anything. I mean he's blind. It wasn't that he could fly. His major power was an impediment. So I was intrigued. When I took over he was kind of like Spider-Man-lite but I was able to project a lot of my Catholic imagery onto it. And I'd always wanted to do a crime comic.
I'm a comic book artist. So I think to myself what do I like to draw? I like to draw hot chicks fast cars and cool guys in trench coats. So that's what I write about.
I think my printing to this day looks like the printing right out of a comic book. Actually I always wanted to be in a comic book. I watched cartoons when I was a kid too and both comics and cartoons lit fire in my imagination. This realm holds a lot of interest for me a lot of passion for me. So to be comic-ized yeah that's cool.
I'm taking a lot of my favorite artists different people my favorite music and marrying that with what I do as a comic. It's very collaborative arty fun and cool.
Comic books aren't nerdy. You'd have to be an idiot to think computers are nerdy.
Today comics is one of the very few forms of mass communication in which individual voices still have a chance to be heard.
The comic book world is a tough business.
The quickest way to defuse fear or insecurity or anger is usually humor. I think comics figure that out quickly and once you figure it out you think 'Hey if I can do this and get paid that would be kind of cool.'
I did not want to put myself on the line as an Australian playing Britain's greatest comic actor. The fans of Sellers are obsessive possessive - and aggressive. I did not want to risk their anger - or my own reputation.
He's this amazing ambassador for all superheroes. What we've made as a film not only examines that but is also an amazing adventure story. It's been an honor to work on. As a comic book fan Superman is like the Rosetta Stone of all superheroes.
Comics are so full of amazing work. And I can't look at a drawing of a woman without thinking of for instance Wallace Wood and his amazing way of capturing beauty.
It was said Daredevil grew up in Hell's Kitchen an amazing name for a neighbourhood. But that opened a Pandora's box of all the crime stuff I wanted to do. I borrowed liberally from Will Eisner's 'The Spirit' and turned 'Daredevil' into a crime comic.
Twitter is the most amazing medium for a comedy writer. I can't get in every idea I want on the show no matter how hard I try to bully the other writers so it's a way of me getting out other comic ideas and immediately getting feedback.
