I'm Not A Guy Who Gets Inspirations.

When You Combine The Great Stories From The Comics With The Action And Visual Excitement Of The Movies, It Doesn't Get Any Better!

You Remember When Tobey Maguire Was First Selected, Most Of The Fans Were Angry. They Felt, What Kind Of A Guy Is That For A Superhero? Nobody Thought It Was A Good Idea. Yet He Turned Out To Be Great. The People At Marvel Who Do These Things Are Really Pretty Smart. If They Chose This Guy, He'll Probably Be Terrific.

One Of The Keys Is, And It May Sound Funny, Talking About Characters With Super Powers, But One Of The Keys Is To Make Your Characters As Realistic And Believable As Possible. Even If They Have Super Powers, You Say To Yourself, "well, If Somebody Had A Super Power Like This, What Would His Life Be Like? Wouldn't He Still Maybe Have To Go To The Dentist Or Wouldn't He Have To Worry About Making A Living? What About His Love Life?" You've Got To Make Characters That Your Reader Can Believe Exists Or Might Exist.

I Had A Publisher Who Felt Comics Were Just For Little Kiddies, So He Never Wanted Me To Use Words Of More Than Two Syllables.

I'm Sort Of A Pressure Writer. If Somebody Says, "stan, Write Something," And I Have To Have It By Tomorrow Morning, I'll Just Sit Down And I'll Write It. It Always Seems To Come To Me. But I'm Better Doing A Rushed Job Because If It Isn't Something That's Due Quickly, I Won't Work On It Until It Becomes Almost An Emergency And Then I'll Do It.
