Comics are just another medium to express yourself. It's not cinema it's not literature it's just something else. It has a specific requirement, which is that images are used to tell the story. There are lots of crappy movies, with guns and action and Arnold Schwarzenegger or whatever.

Drawing - it's the first language of human beings, before writing, before even talking, before words, human beings was drawing.
