My father was sleepless most of his life. So by the age of five, I was awake with him all night long, watching bad television or we'd lie in the same bed, and I'd read my comic books while he read his latest spy or mystery novel.
- Sherman Alexie
He likes to pretend he lives inside the comic books. I guess a fake life inside a cartoon is a lot better than his real life.
- Sherman Alexie
Comic books and graphic novels are a great medium. It's incredibly underused.
- Darren Aronofsky
Comic books and The Chronicles of Narnia. My mother used to read those to me and my twin brother growing up.
- Shawn Ashmore
Oh, please, if its ass is feathered and waterproof, its a duck. Hello, pictures with little word balloons makes it a comic book. They're dorky comic books for nerdy antisocial, nonbathing people. End of discussion.
- P C Cast
But I read comic books. I read things like Richie Rich and Little Lulu.
- Alison Bechdel
Comic books aren't nerdy. You'd have to be an idiot to think computers are nerdy.
- Adam Brody
I think the thinking is, in the comic books, I should pack as much onto a page as possible, because, you know, it's kind of the cheaper format, and you want to give readers as much as you can for their dollar.
- Chester Brown
I've always had a soft spot for comic books.
- Nicolas Cage
At a young age, I was interested in comic books, which was really how I learnt to read. The name Cage came from a comic book character called Power Man.
- Nicolas Cage
Quentin and I were constantly finding something new that we had in common and comic books were one of them. I think we were talking about comic books much earlier in our relationship, before I had the part.
- David Carradine
Comic books were just the means for me to tell the story.
- Michael Chabon
The newspaper articles that Joe had read about the upcoming Senate investigation into comic books always cited "escapism" among the litany of injurious consequences of their reading, and dwelled on the pernicious effect, on young minds, of satisfying the desire to escape. As if there could be any more noble or necessary service in life.
- Michael Chabon
It's embarrassing to be involved in the same business as the mainstream comic thing. It's still very embarrassing to tell other adults that I draw comic books - their instant, preconceived notions of what that means.
- Daniel Clowes
Comic books, movies, radio programmes centered their entertainment around the fact of torture. With the clearest of consciences, with a patriotic intensity, children dreamed, talked, acted orgies of physical abuse. Imaginations were released to wander on a reconnaissance mission from Cavalry to Dachau.
European children starved and watched their parents scheme and die. Here we grew up with toy whips. Early warning against our future leaders, the war babies.
- Leonard Cohen
When I was a boy, I always saw myself as a hero in comic books and in movies. I grew up believing this dream.
- Elvis Presley
We probably put about four or five comic books out a year and probably about two or three art books and various trade paperbacks - maybe four or five of those a year - and that's what we do now.
- Glenn Danzig
I am not a fan of the magical quick fix in any fiction, including fantasy, scifi and comic books. Unless Dr. Who is involved, and then only because we get to use the phrase 'Timey-wimey wibbliness' which, I'm sure you'll agree, there are not enough occasions to drop into ordinary adult conversation.
- Chris Dee
When I was coming up, I kept a ton of comic books, almost 300 comic books. Back in the day, they didn't used to cost that much, so I used to keep 'em, collect 'em, trade 'em.
- Michael Clarke Duncan
As an adolescent I wrote comic books, because I read lots of them, and fantasy novels set in Malaysia and Central Africa.
- Umberto Eco
I love comic books. I just do.
- Megan Fox
I'm the biggest nerd - I love comic books and stuff like that! I don't have any friends who are actresses. I only had one girlfriend when I was growing up. Most of my friends were boys. I was such a tomboy. I enjoyed doing guy things.
- Megan Fox
I already read everything. I read poems and plays and novels and newspapers and comic books and magazines. I read tins in supermarkets and leaflets that come through the door, unsolicited mail. None of it lasts long and it doesn't give me answers. Reading too fast is not soothing.
- Janice Galloway
I hope I won't become hated by geeks everywhere, but I don't really know comic books all that well.
- Steven Moffat
I've learned to look like I'm listening to long confusing plots of cartoons and comic books when I'm actually sound asleep or making grocery shopping lists in my head.
- Patricia Heaton
We can't really make a living doing comic books, despite the fact that would be an awfully fun way to make a living.
- Erich Hoeber
It's almost like these games are the modern day comic books, especially when you play Alone in the Dark. There's a real story that goes along with it and a movie seemed like the right kind of transition to make.
- Christian Slater
We can put television in its proper light by supposing that Gutenberg's great invention had been directed at printing only comic books.
- Robert M Hutchins
I love comic books and I love anime.
- Samuel L Jackson
I stole comic books from my brother when I was a kid, but I was never like an avid fan. I can't claim to be like a comic book geek.
- Anna Kendrick
I still love comic books. When you have a kid, that's an excuse to keep reading all the comic books.
- Jimmy Kimmel
No, I'm not a comic book guy. I'm pretty fascinated with the subculture though and I do think that the world of comic books is such a natural transition into film.
- Donal Logue
The copycat effects of media violence, similar to those previously attributed to westerns, radio serials and comic books, are easy to exaggerate.
- Hugh Mackay
That became a big time in comic books because it's when people were starting to break out into independent stuff, the market was getting choked with speculators and everybody was trying to do their own trick covers.
- Todd Mcfarlane
Sarah turned her narrow-eyed gaze on him, making me glad once more that Antimony's comic books got it wrong, and telepaths can't actually kill you with their brains. Give you a whopping headache and earworm you with annoying jingles, yes; kill you, no. (Although sometimes, when she's managed to stick "The Happy Banana Song" in my head for a week, I sort of wish she could kill people with her brain. It would be kinder.)
- Seanan Mcguire
I love comic books and always did as a kid.
- Rick Moody
To paint comic books as childish and illiterate is lazy. A lot of comic books are very literate - unlike most films.
- Alan Moore
My hero in comic books is Jack Kirby: 'Spider-Man,' 'Fantastic Four,' 'Captain America,' Marvel Comics. He was really the basis for Marvel Comics.
- Walter Mosley
Well, I've been a big fan of comic books since I was a little kid. In fact, I used to write and draw my own comic books when I was on the old Lost in Space series.
- Bill Mumy
People who are readers of fiction aren't particularly interested in comic books.
- Harvey Pekar
I think the people who would be the least interested in my work would be people who read lots of comic books.
- Harvey Pekar
You can make your superhero a psychopath, you can draw gut-splattering violence, and you can call it a "graphic novel," but comic books are still incredibly stupid.
- Bill Watterson
Blustery cold days should be spend propped up in bed with a mug of hot chocolate and a pile of comic books.
- Bill Watterson
Television and comic books are, and continue to be, probably the biggest influence in my life. It's the biggest influence on everybody's life.
- Gene Simmons
Oh yeah, I was one of the first guys writing comic books, I wrote Captain America, with guys like Stan Lee, who became famous later on with Marvel Comics.
- Mickey Spillane
I used to get a haircut every Saturday so I would never miss any of the comic books. I had practically no hair when I was a kid!
- R L Stine
My mother had all these maxims - like, classy girls never chew gum, never read comic books, never get their ears pierced, never get their hair dyed.
- Jennifer Tilly
video games are the comic books of our time... It's a medium that gains no respect among the intelligentsia.
- Guillermo Del Toro
I like the idea of making big budget films with a heart. I like graphic novels more than comic books.
- Matthew Vaughn
Mostly, I was only interested in television as a kid, and the majority of reading material I collected was an adjunct to that central concern, comic books and magazines included.
- Chris Ware
I was a very sickly kid. While I was in the hospital at age 7, my Dad brought me a stack of comic books to keep me occupied. I was hooked.

I can do web, comic books, macrame, art.
