00:12
And that's pretty damn good.
00:15
Frank Miller!
00:16
I'd go into the comic book store and I would only look for Frank Miller.
00:19
I wouldn't even look at other stuff.
00:21
He is 100% a genius.
00:23
There's something about his work that transcends comics.
00:26
That's what great art does.

The paper.
01:07
The paint.
01:08
The brush.
01:09
The pen.
01:10
Everything matters.
01:13
He got to a point where he was recognized by everyone.
01:17

He said that my stuff wasn't quite up to Marvel's standards yet.
01:31
I got into comics as an artist and I had to fight to be allowed to write my own work.
01:39
It can look like revolution when somebody's combined things that haven't been combined.
01:47
In my career, it's when I've taken the risk to follow the stuff I'm dying to do.
01:53
The stuff that I think would be fun to read.
01:56
Those are the most intense projects I've had and the most rewarding on every level.
02:07
Through persistence and good luck, I've managed to spend my life doing exactly what I wanted
02:12
to do ever since I was five years old.
02:14
That's about as American as it gets.
