Adaptations are great, but for me, comics have always been the destination, not a stepping-stone to get somewhere else.

Doesn’t matter if it’s personal or professional, a good partnership takes work.

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

Next up, I’m going to grow a big, disgusting beard, just so people will start talking about Alan Moore and me in the same breath.

I like being around teenagers. It’s good for drama; they feel everything much more intensely than adults do, their lives are much more interesting than ours. They’re mutants. They have these weird bodies that are rebelling against them and changing every day. Teenagers always equal good drama.

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.

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.

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.

I remember seeing Stand by Me, when I was around 12, and just feeling like, “This is so refreshing to see kids swear and smoke cigarettes like my friends.” It just felt much more real than the Sesame Street version of childhood that I’d been spoon-fed.

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

I don’t start a story until I know where it’s going to end.

Some people are haunted by their pasts, but not my family. I mean, how can you be haunted by something that never really dies?

Mean Past People
I know I’m a grumpy old man, but I’m always more delighted by readers talking about the actual comics than people talking about how eager they are to have their favorite comics be “elevated” into another medium.

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

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.

Yeah, that’s right. Flee in terror, bitches!
