Immigration confuses and terrifies me, so why not try to write a comic and make some sense of it?

Brian K. Vaughan

A comic script is basically a love letter from you to your artist.

I’m still digesting the ’90s. It takes some time to get perspective.

Perspective Stills
Not a word of my writing has ever been changed by another person’s hands, and I don’t think many screenwriters can say that.

Hands Thinking Writing
What cruel creatures men are. Our bodies tell us to love so many, but there’s room in our hearts for so few.

The longer I’ve been writing scripts, the more I find that you have to give the artist more leeway or else you’ll just be disappointed. You can’t force them to draw every image that’s in your head.

I love that the book [Paper Girls ] gets to kind of evolve and change in each era. Our third storyline is our best so far.

Book Girl Paper
Everyone had a mother, even if she had to leave us on a stranger’s doorstep. No matter how we’re eventually raised, all of our stories begin the exact same way. They all end the same, too.

To try and imagine that I’m another person is always going to be hard – whether I’m writing about a truck driver or someone who is gay, who’s trans, who is of a different ethnicity or creed. But it would be boring if I always had to write about myself and my limited viewpoint.
BRIAN K. VAUGHAN

Ethnicity Gay Writing
I’m the one who started spreading that particular factoid, about Bendis, Azz and me all being bald Brian’s from Cleveland, just to get my name mentioned in the same sentence as two much-better writers, and it’s worked like a goddamn charm.

Every issue, the characters and I duke it out. They usually win.

Character Issues Winning
We’ve all seen lots of stories about a young protagonist having adventures, and usually they’re all boys, [and] there is sometimes a token female, or two.

It was interesting looking back at the ’80s and trying to find newspaper headlines from the time – the cliché of history repeating itself.
BRIAN K. VAUGHAN

History Interesting Itself Repeats Trying
After ten years of toiling away in Hollywood, I realized that there’s no better place for new ideas than comics.

These are the young women [in Stand by Me] that we grew up knowing and hopefully they feel a little rough around the edges, because it’s true to life.
