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
I've never sat down and thought about the difference between plot and theme. To me, that's never been important.
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
I would like immortality.
Len Wein
I try not to violate what came before me and to leave lots of wiggle room for those who will follow.
Len Wein
If a story isn't working, I'm simply unable to finish it. That's what usually tells me something is wrong.
Len Wein
