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.

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.

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

Adaptation Comics Destination Great Stepping
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.
