Joe is the hero and Sammy is the sidekick. That's how I feel about it.

Comic books were just the means for me to tell the story.

That was all very nice of them. They didn't have to do anything because I wasn't officially involved at all.

I wasn't involved, except to the degree that they sent me drafts of the script as the writer turned them in. They asked me at one point to write a memo about what I thought of it.

I completely lost interest in comics. I sold my collection. I didn't go back to them for fifteen years - until after Wonder Boys.

I'm such a devoted web user, myself, that it feels important to me to have a presence, to be a part of that whole collective enterprise.

taken greatness games
All literature, highbrow or low, from the Aeneid onward, is fan fiction....Through parody and pastiche, allusion and homage, retelling and reimagining the stories that were told before us and that we have come of age loving--amateurs--we proceed, seeking out the blank places in the map that our favorite writers, in their greatness and negligence, have left for us, hoping to pass on to our own readers--should we be lucky enough to find any--some of the pleasure that we ourselves have taken in the stuff that we love: to get in on the game. All novels are sequels; influence is bliss.
