Comics is a powerful idea, but an idea that's been squandered, ignored and misunderstood for generations. No art form has lived in a smaller box than comics for the last hundred years. It's time for comics to finally grow up and find the art beneath the craft.

I've always been very forward-looking, and it was actually kind of difficult to turn my gaze backwards to look at comics history.

My dad was an inventor, and I think I've always had a rosy view of technology, or at least its potential.

There's a very big part of me that just wants to take all of comics history and toss it on the bonfire. I'd sort of like to get on to the future.
