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.

I like giving readers an opportunity to get a hold of me in that way and to read things I've written which might disappear otherwise.

That was all very nice of them. They didn't have to do anything because I wasn't officially involved at all.
american-author asked drafts except script sent turned
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.

It was an incredible resource. I'd sit with a big stack of bound New Yorkers in the library and read through, especially the 'Talk of the Town' sections.

It is unusual for Joe to be that way, but that's what interested me.

It was fun. That was something I came to fairly late.

Anything good that I have written has, at some point during its composition, left me feeling uneasy and afraid. It has seemed, for a moment at least, to put me at risk.
loss thinking nostalgia
For me, nostalgia is an involuntary emotion. I think it's just a natural human response to loss.
