If I had to rank my skills, I have a long way to go before I can write a good graphic novel.

It's been a long slog back, and we've still got a long way to go.

I don't think anyone has written a great graphic novel.

When I put together a graphic novel, I don't think about literary prose. I think about storytelling.

I think, No. 1, I still have a long way to go.

I've been writing for a long time, and I've loved comic books for a long time - forever - but I had to learn how to write in a different way to write sequential art for a graphic novel. It's been an interesting transition.
