“I try to make the readers feel they are there.”

“I'm just drawing what I see, what I know. It's about people I grew up with.”

“It's all about the characters. If the readers don't care about the characters, they won't care about the story.”

“My characters are not role models. They're flawed.”

“It’s just like life. You have your good times and your bad times.”

“Age is a big part of my stories because it's a big part of life.”

“Love and Rockets was my punk rock. It was our way of saying, ‘We can do this ourselves.’”

“I didn't want to create superheroes. I wanted to create people.”

“The drawing has to serve the story. Not the other way around.”

“I like to leave things open-ended, for the reader to fill in the blanks.”

“I never really thought about the audience. I was just doing it for myself and my brothers.”

“I've always been drawn to the drama of everyday life.”
