Why Comics?

Why comics?

I like the fact that there exists near total freedom to go for the themes and ideas that interest you, that it can be as utterly low-fidelity as you might wish or as slick and crafted as you like, that you are relatively free of the comic equivalent of test screenings or creation by commitee that plagues cinema. I like building my own toybox of tricks and narrative conceits as well, mostly by raiding my own comics collection and really sucking the marrow out of it, but still coming up with something that is uniquely me. That I have waited this long for people to put my words into images is testament as to how much I love comics.
