I Love Marvel And The People There.

People Like Stories That Are Bigger Than Life, About Characters With Unusual Powers. And When You Get All The Characters In The Zodiac, It's So Colorful, And It's So Rich In Different Attitudes That The Characters Have.

I Like Silver Surfer Because He's The Most Philosophical, Always Philosophizing About The Human Race And The Human Condition And Why People Are The Way They Are, Why They Don't Appreciate This Wonderful Planet They Live On... He Has A Nice Moral Tone.

I Thought It Would Be Great To Do Superheroes That Have The Same Kind Of Life Problems That Any Reader - That Anybody Could Have.

... And We Talk It Out. Lately, I've Had Roy Thomas Come In, And He Sits And Makes Notes While We Discuss It. Then He Types Them Up, Which Gives Us A Written Synopsis. Originally - I Have A Little Tape Recorder - I Had Tried Taping It, But Then I Found No One On Staff Has Time To Listen To The Tape Again Later. But This Way He Makes Notes, Types It Quickly, I Get A Carbon, The Artist Gets A Carbon ... So We Don't Have To Worry That We'll Forget What We've Said.

Quality. That's The First Word, The One Word That Comes To Mind When I Think Of The Books Published By Abrams. In A World Where So Many Companies Are Willing To Cut Corners, To Do Things The Easy Way In Order To Enhance The Bottom Line, It's Gratifying To Know That There's One Company That Obviously Takes Such Pride In Its Finished Product, One Company That Can Always Be Counted On To Design And Produce A Book That Is, Itself, As Much A Work Of Art As The Illustrations On Its Pages.
