, I love to work in the comics medium -- I really do -- and I've realised that a total contempt for the intelligence of the audience is the key to success.
I see no reason why children as young as six, seven, or even three shouldn't be allowed to produce corporate comic books to relentless monthly deadlines.
Let's face it; regular monthly superhero comic books have taken on the look and smell of old men's pants.
