More quotes by Len Wein
I always wanted to fire rays out of my fingertips.
Len Wein
The villain is always more entertaining because he has fewer limitations. The hero is bound by honor, by justice and by the law, sometimes.
Len Wein
Sometimes you're not even sure which of your stories were failures. There are things I've written that I thought were complete catastrophes when I finished with them that have gone on to generate some of my most positive feedback.
Len Wein
I would like immortality.
Len Wein
The curse of comic book adaptations, when I was younger, was that the director or producer would go, Don't worry about it, it's just a comic book.
Len Wein
Never be embarrassed by the things you cannot do. Be embarrassed by the things you can do and don't do well.
Len Wein
What makes a story is how well it manages to connect with the reader, the visceral effect it has.
Len Wein

Len Wein

Len Wein
I think jazz and comic books are probably the two uniquely American art forms.
Len Wein
I've never sat down and thought about the difference between plot and theme. To me, that's never been important.
Len Wein
I was a very sickly kid. While I was in the hospital at age 7, my Dad brought me a stack of comic books to keep me occupied. I was hooked.
Len Wein
It's all about who's where on the food chain. When I'm the story editor, I expect my writers to follow my vision. When I'm working for another editor, I'm obliged to follow their vision.
Len Wein
I've had editors over the years who couldn't find a clue if it was stapled to their butt.
Len Wein
I've never had to work out of the arts. I've always either been a writer or an editor, or something where I've made my living from doing what I love. You can't get any better than that.
Len Wein
Lord of the Rings, I think, is far and away the most brilliantly done stuff.
Len Wein
I think there's something inherently dishonest in trying to go back and mess with the past.
Len Wein
