But nothing warps time quite like childhood

I know I'm a grumpy old man, but I'm always more delighted by readers talking about the actual comics than people talking about how eager they are to have their favorite comics be elevated into another medium. Adaptations are great, but for me, comics have always been the destination, not a stepping-stone to get somewhere else.

There's a lot of dark stuff from the '80s that we don't think about.
Brian K. Vaughan
Image
I grew up in the suburbs of Cleveland in 1988 and there was just one year where suddenly all of the delivery kids that used to be boys were suddenly girls. It happened at our church too. Altar boys were suddenly altar girls. There was just this sense that all these young women knew there were openings here to be the first of their kind.

They hurt you. You hurt 'em back. Or maybe it is the other way around. Whatever. Someday you might find a way to forgive each other. But it won't be like it used to 'cause that pain never really goes away.

Your own creations are your own children you gave life to them, so you'll always have, if not more passion to them, more connections to them.

We're always looking roughly 30 years behind us. In the '80s they were obsessed with the '50s and so on.

Not a word of my writing has ever been changed by another person's hands, and I don't think many screenwriters can say that.
Brian K. Vaughan

I think some people are just very passionate that things remain the way they were when they were kids.
