Once upon a time, each of us was somebody's kid. Everyone had a father, even if he never provided anything more than his seed.

I've written about teenage heroes before, on Marvel's Runaways, and I remember at the time when I pitched it, it was a team that had more female members than males. Even that caused of much discussion about, Will there be a market for this, and should there at least be equal number of male and females?

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.

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 only three forms of high art: the symphony, the illustrated children's book and the board game.
