My hero in comic books is Jack Kirby: 'Spider-Man,' 'Fantastic Four,' 'Captain America,' Marvel Comics. He was really the basis for Marvel Comics.

Oh yeah, I was one of the first guys writing comic books, I wrote Captain America, with guys like Stan Lee, who became famous later on with Marvel Comics.

It was there in the hall that I began drawing Captain Underpants, ... Soon I was making my own comic books about him.

I don't remember when exactly I read my first comic book, but I do remember exactly how liberated and subversive I felt as a result.

Ian was too Captain America for my taste.

You have a metal arm? Dude, that is so awesome!
