CD: It’d be a difficult decision for me to give up the freedom of creator-owned stories, and I don’t for one second believe that (as I once heard a fairly well established writer declare) anyone who doesn’t want to graduate to Big Two work-for-hire should get out of comics. If I were ever to try my hand at mainstream superheroics, I’d have to believe I had something worthwhile to say in that field. Until I can definitely say that, it’s not something I’m going to expend a lot of energy on. GH: I do this as my full-time job and wouldn’t do anything else. Of course, I’d love to draw for the Big Two... they pay money, don’t they? Basically, what could be better than getting paid for doing something that you love?
