Funnybook Babylon

Well, they’re not anymore adolescent than something like 24 [laughs]. I try to write stuff that I would enjoy reading. It’s a little different than a teen book like the X-Men. I had to make a switch in my head when I started working on stuff like Batman or Catwoman to try to figure out what my angle was going to be so that I could make it feel like I wasn’t slumming or something. Some friends of mine from alternative comics had gotten work that DC or Marvel bottomed out pretty quickly because you could tell it wasn’t their real work as far as they were concerned. My feeling is always that anybody who’s buying it needs it to be your real work.
