Quotes
- "You should never forget that the entire purpose of comics as a medium is to tell a story. It's not to razzle-dazzle 'em with your fancy footwork, wow them with your spectacular rendering, or blow them away with special effects in Photoshop. You can do all that stuff; but it should be in the service of the story. Always keep the story in mind; not the telling of it."ComicBoards: An Interview with Walt Simonson
