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

Brian K. Vaughan

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

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

Body Heart Men
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.

Factor Mention Names Talking Two
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 like things that are weirdly imaginative and couldn’t be real, but I also like stories that are recognizable and relatable.

Imaginative Real Stories
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.

Knowing Life Stand True
Yeah, that’s right. Flee in terror, bitches!
BRIAN K. VAUGHAN

Bichest Terror Yeah
I genuinely am sort of an emotionally stunted man-child, so if I just write to the top of my intelligence, it sounds like a teenager.

Drama Teenager Writing
I write the book for one person – for Fiona [Staples, the artist]. I spend a lot of time just thinking how she’ll react to things and manipulating her into drawing perverse, horrific things. It’s a really weird job but I enjoy it.

Books Jobs Manipulate Thinking Writing
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.
BRIAN K. VAUGHAN

Eventually Everyone Same Strangers
I think there is a possible future where maybe we do just take a hard turn away from the Internet and we do start valuing our privacy again.

Internet Privacy Thinking
Life is mostly just learning how to lose.

Life Loses Misty
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.
BRIAN K. VAUGHAN

Bodies Everything Teenagers Weird
No. No, first comes boyhood. You get to play with soldiers and spacemen, cowboys and ninjas, pirates and robots. But before you know it, all that comes to an end. And then, Remo Williams, is when the adventure begins.

Adventure Cowboy Play
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.
BRIAN K. VAUGHAN

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