Sergio Aragones quotes about
glad opportunity saw spending took
After spending so many years on Groo, I saw this as an opportunity to go back to doing something I really loved, and I'm glad I took the chance.
pages select send
For every issue, I send four pages of finished marginals and they select the ones they need.
variations
Generally what I produce is new. Of course, they are often variations on the same subject.
stories
With Groo, I try to do one story every book. Sometimes the stories are better if they go a little longer, and I choose to do it in four issues.
losing-friends being-sad family-and-friends
The sad events that occur in my life are the sad events that happen to everybody, with losing friends and family, but that is a natural occurrence, as natural as being born.
source collections national-geographic
My best sources are my travels and my collection of National Geographic.
sharks scare catching
I don't enjoy the boo scare when you're watching a movie and then suddenly there's a big shark on the screen. The only thing they're doing is catching you off guard.
long stories western
The Western, when I do one, will be one long, continuous story.
individual-effort effort individual
Freedom is not an individual effort. Yours comes only when you grant others theirs
trying end-of-the-world world
At the end of the '60s, I was trying to enter the world of comics.
drawing looks way
My work is so unorthodox that from one panel to the next, the drawings are completely different... totally opposed to the way of working in something like animation, where every drawing has to look like the one before.
suspense-novels important stories
Suspense is very important. Even though this is humor and they're short stories, that theory of building suspense is still there.
drawing stories daydreaming
When you're drawing comics, you get very involved in how the story is going to develop and you spend more time daydreaming on that particular subject.
