The public always loves anything that's different, as long as it's well-made, if it's well-done. You never know what to expect when you go to one of these so-called superhero movies.

Comic books are just a way to show a story. Then there are the movies, and television and exhibits like this that take the stories and make them seem so realistic. In the comic book, you're just reading a story - hopefully a good, exciting story that whets your appetite for all of this stuff to come.

Fans are almost always nice. I really find that they rarely come on too strong.

To me everything is fun. I've started Twittering or tweeting recently and that's been fun.

I'm lucky. I don't have to produce the whole movie. What I've been doing is just coming up with ideas for movies. I write a concept, a treatment, an outline, and if I sell that to a studio, then someone else does the actual production and I go on to another project, although I keep the title executive producer.

I think I've got 12... Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Aquaman, Plastic-Man, Green Lantern, Sandman, The Justice League, The Atom Legion of Superheroes and Teen Titans.... Just about all of their top titles.

I don't sound disloyal, but I've never had a pair of Marvel pyjamas or underwear. I do have a lot of Marvel figurines at home in a cabinet. Every time they make a new Marvel figure I put it in my cabinet.

I think people have always loved things that are bigger than life, things that are imaginative.

The more you read, the better you're going to become as a storyteller.

I'm very proud of being a hack. It's why I've lived as long as I have, I think.

I always thought it was more interesting to think about Reed Richards. As you know, he had the ability to stretch, and sexually, that would seem to be a great asset in many areas.
Stan Lee

I had been writing comic books for years and I was doing them to please a publisher, who felt that comics are only read by very young children or stupid adults. And therefore, we have to keep the stories very simplistic... And those were all things I hated.

It's amazing what these superhero movies have become.

Everybody learns differently and everybody gets to a certain point from a different direction.

I think there's the element of the excitement of what I'm going to see, and with the special effects where you see men flying and walking through walls and shooting flame or whatever they do, especially the younger audiences, which make up a bulk of the moviegoers, they love that sort of thing.

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.

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?

I enjoy the fact that we have these mobile comics now, which are sort of a cross between a comic book and an animated cartoon.

I always figure I'm not unique, and something that would please me hopefully would please a lot of other people that have the same tastes that I do.
