I assume I will outlive the medium. Kids don’t read comic books. There is no replenishing audience. It’s sown the seeds of its own demise.

I stopped writing comics feeling like that I'd done a few good ones. Having said that, that was five years ago. I'm now starting to get interested in comics again as a medium. I'm partly going, "I wonder if I could still do it?" You know, there's that old gunfighter kind of mentality.

The first superhumans will need to be given forward-moving ideas instead of backward-looking doctrines. It will be in our own interests to show them a copy of Superman before we show them a copy of Mein Kampf as I've said elsewhere.

We will have to show them comics. In fact, I have a feeling they will demand to see them. Comic books are the only art form forward thinking enough to have mounted a sustained examination and critique of the superhuman ideal. I imagine that these new people will learn a lot about how to behave and how not to behave from books like X-Men or Miracleman or The Authority.
