Comic Quotes

My dark comic edge is the end result of trying to use humor to maintain my sanity growing up in a dysfunctional family in Honolulu Picture Quote #1

When Superman was originally created, by Siegel and Shuster, they were two Jewish immigrants that were desperately trying to assimilate into America. They were having a hard time because they were Jewish. They wanted to get in to mainstream publishing but they couldn’t. That’s why they, and a lot of Jewish guys, went into comic books Picture Quote #1

I was a Marvel kid, and I would have to say that Spiderman is my all-time favorite character. As I got older, my tastes developed a little bit more, and I would follow certain writers; like, I really got into Grant Morrison. From the time I was 5, I was into comic books. From the time I learned how to read, it was all about comic books Picture Quote #1

Everybody’s different and every person is different and every actor’s different and everybody has different wants and needs, but I’m a kid who loved comic books my whole life Picture Quote #1

My real background was in art studies. At the beginning I was a painter, then I was this graphic designer, then I became an illustrator, then I was a comic artist. But for me it’s a different way of expression, a different field of art. They’re not separated; everything for me is related Picture Quote #1

I think any kind of comic sequence is as easy and as difficult as it is written. So, if it is written well, then it becomes easy. Sometimes you find it difficult because the humour is not coming out Picture Quote #1

I will say that comic books are not the easiest things to translate to film, number one. Even the most well meaning of filmmakers find what’s acceptable on the printed page is very difficult to bring to film Picture Quote #1

I’ve always just loved drawing and loved cartoons. Growing up, I loved Disney films, I loved The Simpsons, and I was a big fan of the comic strip Calvin and Hobbes and the way that they would have weird fantasy and then down-to-earth funny character comedy Picture Quote #1

I was never really a nerd. I’m not really into comic books or Dungeons and Dragons or any of that kind of stuff. I was in drama class, and I’m a big movie and music buff. And I’m into sports Picture Quote #1

When I left drama school, my fear was that I’d get pigeon holed into comic acting and I did so much to counter it that I got stuck in the opposite Picture Quote #1

I guess I don’t have much interest in writing straight drama. So whatever subject matter I choose will ultimately be dealt with in a comic way Picture Quote #1

Most people haven’t seen my dramatic work, but I did 10 years of theater before I ever became a comic. I’m just better known for comedy Picture Quote #1

When I did ‘Alien: Resurrection’, a lot of the guys worked on planned production, and one of them was really into comic books and would draw all sorts of characters, and I was impressed with his sketches Picture Quote #1

My dream was to draw for ‘The Beano.’ When I was 10 years old, I started drawing cartoon strips with ‘The Beano’ in mind. I lived in that world. You own a comic, it’s yours and adults don’t understand it. You could pile them up under the bed, and if you were off school ill, you’d go through them all Picture Quote #1

I’ve always wanted to write comic books, my earliest memories are of waiting for Dad to come home from work, and, secreted in his lawyer’s leather briefcase, would be comics from the store Picture Quote #1

We all know showbiz isn’t easy, but being a comic - especially being a female comic - can be quite punishing Picture Quote #1

I’m not a child star, but you could say that I’ve grown up on TV. I went from being an unknown, down-and-out comic from Brooklyn and the Bronx to being a regular character on a major network comedy called ‘Martin.’ From there I went on to become the most notable black comic on ‘Saturday Night Live’ since Eddie Murphy Picture Quote #1

When my brother and me got into performing in the late 40s and early 50s, it was a sensational opportunity to learn from our elders. Every show we played had a dancer, a comic, a juggler, a singer, an acrobat. I came to appreciate virtuosity in all forms of the business Picture Quote #1

Kids are no longer interested in reading comic books; they’ve got television and the electronic games that they can bury themselves in like ostriches. They don’t have to pay attention to what’s going on in the world around them Picture Quote #1

Many of my poems try to use a comic element to reach a place that isn’t comic at all. The comic element works as a surprise. It is unexpected and energizing Picture Quote #1

The joy of doing ‘Sandman’ was doing a comic and telling people, ‘No, it has an end,’ at a time when nobody thought you could actually get to the end and stop doing a comic that people were still buying just because you’d finished Picture Quote #1

Nothing is harder to create than brilliant comic ballets, except maybe brilliant full-evening comic ballets Picture Quote #1

I concentrate, more than I think virtually any comic book artist has in the past, on the so-called mundane details of every day life - quotidian life. What happens to a person during a working day, marital relations, and stuff like that Picture Quote #1

I’m used to doing comic books, where every month there’s a new comic book! I find that the movie business is not quite the same. It doesn’t move quite as fast Picture Quote #1

JR was a 1-dimensional, evil character. JR was multi-dimensional, and Larry Hagman is probably one of the greatest actors that we have. Then, you go back and look at ‘I Dream of Jeannie’ - I mean, he’s a comic genius, as well. So, I think they should give him an honorary Emmy Award Picture Quote #1

One of the exciting things about producing a comic is seeing the artist stamp his own interpretation on it Picture Quote #1

There are great comic books, these great geniuses that manage to tell you a story in one frame, and that became the thing that opened my eyes Picture Quote #1

Even in a gleefully negative comic, there is optimism, although it’s slightly hidden: It comes out through a comic character’s sheer tenacity. He keeps going and trying to find some sort of fulfillment regardless of his perpetual failure record. That’s a form of hope, a form of optimism. Really hokey I know, but it’s true Picture Quote #1

Everyone seems to see bleakness and despair in my books. I don’t read them that way. I see myself as writing comic books, books about ordinary people trying to live ordinary, dull, happy lives while the world is falling to pieces around them Picture Quote #1

Trish Patsy Walker is just one of my favorite characters and she was a big comic character in the 40s Picture Quote #1
