I'm Afraid I Go Through

What Did Doctor Doom Really Want? He Wanted To Rule The World. Now, Think About This. You Could Walk Across The Street Against A Traffic Light And Get A Summons For Jaywalking, But You Could Walk Up To A Police Officer And Say "i Want To Rule The World," And There's Nothing He Can Do About It, That Is Not A Crime. Anybody Can Want To Rule The World. So, Even Though He Was The Fantastic Four's Greatest Menace, In My Mind, He Was Never A Criminal!

It's A Tremendous Challenge, Because There Have Been So Many Characters Created Over The Years. Every Time You Think You Come Up With A Great Name, You Find Out Somebody Has Already Done It. Dreaming Up The Stories Isn't That Hard, But Coming Up With A Good Title Is The Toughest Part.

We're Living In A World Where Everything Moves Very Quickly. We've Become A Very Visual Society, So I Think It's A Very Natural Thing That People Are Captivated With The Illustrations In A Story.

Once, I'd Written A Western Story, And One Of The Panels Was Just A Hand Holding A Six-shooter, And There Was A Puff Of Smoke Coming Out Of The Barrel, And A Straight Horizontal Line, Indicating The Trajectory Of The Bullet. So That Page Was Sent Back To Me From The Code Office, Saying That The Particular Panel Was Too Violent. I Asked Them What They Meant, And They Told Me--i Swear--"the Puff Of Smoke Is Too Big." Well, Of Course. So I Had The Artist Make The Smoke A Little Smaller, And The Youth Of America Was Saved.

I Think Kids Love Superheroes, And The More You Can Crowd Into A Story, The More Excited They Get.
