Comics are essentially films with fewer frames per second.

Image
It was interesting looking back at the '80s and trying to find newspaper headlines from the time - the cliché of history repeating itself.

There are a lot of differing opinions on that. Some people think you should change out more, but I think changing just 20 percent is less stressful on the aquarium and fish. Once you get used to the regimen, it's pretty easy.

What cruel creatures men are. Our bodies tell us to love so many, but there's room in our hearts for so few.

Image
Comics brought me to the dance. It'll always be my first loyalty.
Brian K. Vaughan
Image
Fantasy/science-fiction stories have been around almost as long as each genre, but every hybrid now lives in the shadow of 'Star Wars.'
Brian K. Vaughan
Image
I start with something that makes me angry or confused, and then I write about it. It's a form of self-help.
Brian K. Vaughan
Image
Happy endings are bullshit. There are only happy pauses.
Brian K. Vaughan
Image
There's just something about that late '80s that suddenly feels like it has something to teach us.
Brian K. Vaughan
Image
Immigration confuses and terrifies me, so why not try to write a comic and make some sense of it?
Brian K. Vaughan
Image
I am a big theater fan. It's mostly just being pretentious, I think, and trying to look smart.
Brian K. Vaughan
Image
My parents grew up during the space race, and I think they imagined the future would be us living on moon bases and everyone has rocket shoes.

There's a lot of dark stuff from the '80s that we don't think about.
