stories true-story articles
How can an article about me or the Batman be the true story when I am not consulted or interviewed?
looks realistic new-look
The New Look of Batman is more illustrative and realistic.
years ties
I created Batman about 10 years before Ian Fleming created James Bond.
believe talking persons
What I read is so distorted that I cannot believe that the person they are talking about is myself.
thinking views long
This sounds like my autobiography, but I thought this would be a good time to sound off about myself, as I think that I have been silent too long about my views and opinions.
jobs writing men
To me, it's not work. When I draw and I write, I find it relaxing. It's not like 9-to-5, where a man goes to a job and he isn't really interested in the job. Luckily, I get paid for doing what I'd do for nothing.
unique ideas imagination
Although Bill Finger literally typed the scripts in the early days, he wrote the scripts from ideas that we mutually collaborated on. Many of the unique concepts and story twists also came from my own fertile imagination.
littles interviews given
Much is written about the Batman because he is publicly exposed in print. Very little is known personally about his creator, because I haven't given out that many interviews.
age golden golden-age
In the Golden Age of Batman, I penciled, inked, and lettered my strip by myself.
writing guessing want
If you ever want to get the facts straight about me or the Batman, please write to the original source, myself, for the truth, instead of second guessing.
real legends myth
I intend to explode the myths about myself and get down to the real truth about the legend that is Batman.
writing draws
I didn't have the time to literally write and draw the strip at the same time.
art new-york men
I am planning a one-man art show of original Batman oil paintings that I will show in New York City.
facts known
I am also a writer. That is a fact not known by the public in general.
