Quote

I do conventions sometimes every other weekend. Whenever I have time, and it's not too far away. I get a lot of invitations (to appear at conventions) in other countries and I have to turn them down.

Some people will say, Why read a comic book? It stifles the imagination. If you read a novel you imagine what people are like. If you read a comic, it's showing you. The only answer I can give is, You can read a Shakespeare play, but does that mean you wouldn't want to see it on the stage?

It's the fact that fans still care. I like all the comics conventions: The smaller ones are easier, the bigger ones are exciting.... Each one I say: Never again. But they're all great.... These things are important because they keep the fans' interest alive in comics. They keep the fans reading and their imaginations stimulated.
