The difference between Superman and Wonder Woman is not strength or power level or origin but the fact that she is a woman.
Wonder Woman is most definitely a feminist, or a humanist, in no uncertain terms. Her prime goal in life is to teach peaceful coexistence and equality.
I always rate a convention by the lack of blisters from twiddling my thumbs.
One of the greatest joys of doing 'Comic Book Men' - I was so thankful - was that my wife Carol was able to appear with me. Being able to share that experience with Carol was such a monumental joy for me.
To clarify the facts to everyone, yes, I did have a heart attack. I was on a plane leaving from Los Angeles, CA, heading to Secaucus, NJ, for a comic convention when I started to feel some discomfort in my chest.
No one will be hurt if I don't come to conventions.
When I did 'Wonder Woman,' I was especially proud that I had both a very large straight female and gay male following.
I grew up on comics in the 1960s era, when 'Wonder Woman' was rather silly. She was an interchangeable female character plagued by bad stereotypes. She cried at the drop of a hat, she was worried about how she looked, all of that.
If Trump's own words didn't convince you what a loathsome person he is, certainly nothing that I say or do will sway you.
I find that using real people as models keeps me from getting too formulaic in the designs of characters.
Because several 'Titans' characters have been used in video games, I've got royalty checks for six figures. And I had no knowledge of this until I opened the mailbox, because I don't follow the video game world!
I think one of the problems that comics has in dealing with superheroines is that they try to hard to make them superheroes. All they're doing is the same thing that men do. Just the idea that they're no different than men, except in how they look, always seemed a bit off to me.
Pretty much all I ever expected out of comics was page rate. You could make money doing sketches at conventions, and that could supplement your income. But page rate and some supplement, maybe, was all I ever expected.
I've been drawing since I was five years old.
Looking back, my style was pretty much Marvel house style - very large, thick characters, very musclebound, not very flexible.
I can earn more in a single weekend of convetioneering than I would in an entire month drawing comics. And I get a pretty high rate drawing comics.
Fans are hungry for original artwork.
There are artists who make their living now going to conventions... because now you can.
One thing I'm particularly proud of is that a convention will usually ask me back for the next year, after I've only been at the show for a day or two, because of my rapport with the fans.
I have a fan base who are collectors.
