The people who worked in comics were terrific guys. I had a good association with them, and I enjoyed comics for that very reason.

The only real politics I knew was that if a guy liked Hitler, I'd beat the stuffing out of him and that would be it.

I feel my characters are valid, my characters are people, my characters have hope. Hope is the thing that'll take us through.
