I grew up a big comic book reader, as a kid, and I love the whole fanboy crowd.
I wasn't really a deep-rooted comic-book dude.
I came to comic books when I was about 15.
The comic book fans, especially 'X-Men' fans, are so serious about their comic book.
I think a lot of the things in my life that I become most passionate about, and most excited about, are all from comics.
I was an 'Ironman' fan. It was in the '70s. I definitely liked comics and drew a lot of panels on my notebook when I should have been studying - probably why I ended up in the arts.
I was not a big comic-book reader.
I started reading DC stuff much later in my life. You realize that there's a huge difference between the Marvel universe and the DC universe and the characters that own it.
Back in the day, I used to read 'Archie,' but I haven't been a comic book aficionado.
Comic books are a big passion of mine.
As a kid, I was definitely a DC guy. I started reading big time in the '80s at the height of the Wolfman/Perez 'New Teen Titans.' That was definitely the book that hooked me.
But one of my absolutely favorite things to do is go to comic book stores on the weekends. I'm a huge comic book nerd.
Not being a comic book fan, being thrown into that and seeing the extreme - it's taken very seriously. So I tried to do as much learning as I could about it so I wasn't mean or anything.
I wasn't terribly aware of Catwoman. She was a DC comics character and as a kid, I wasn't terribly fond of the DC comics characters. I was a Marvel boy.
I was a fan of the 'Dredd' comics when I was a teenager.
My father brought me my first stack of comics, when I was seven years old and in the hospital. I was not a well child. And that's where my love for comics began.
I wasn't really a big comic book guy, growing up.
I was never a DC kid - I went through a phase from, like, 11 to 17 where I would try to buy as many Marvel titles as possible. And '2000 AD' was kind of the sort of sci-fi/punk of British comics.
Today, comics is one of the very few forms of mass communication in which individual voices still have a chance to be heard.
I'm not a comic book guy at all.
There were only a couple of Marvel characters I read. I read 'Iron Man.' I have a lot of those. And this was the time they tried X-Factor out. I was never an X-Men person, but I was like, 'Let me check out X-Factor.' I was more of a DC guy in general.
People love their comic books.
I found out that I am a DC fan. I thought I was a Marvel fan because I didn't know. I found out that all of my favorite heroes and villains are DC characters, and I get to play one.
I've been as much a DC guy as anything else my entire fan life.
I had a very sparse comic upbringing - not because I was being whipped into reading Chekhov and Dickens, but I read Asterix on holidays when I was a kid, and Tin Tin was featured, I remember, for a few years.
