I've Written So Many Things Over The Years That I Don't Want To Go Back To Being Just A Scriptwriter. I'm In What I Consider To Be The Enviable Position Of All I Have To Do Is Come Up With The Idea And Write An Outline That Makes It Seem Like It's A Viable Idea That Will Interest People, And Then Other People Write The Scripts -- And I Become The Executive Producer Or The Producer, Depending On How Much Involvement I Have, And I Get A Creative Credit And Then Move On To The Next Project.

The "problem" Is That Comic-con Is So Damned Successful. People Who Are There Seem To Have A Wonderful Time. The Very Size Of It Makes It Exciting. Wherever You Look, There's Something Exciting. The Attendees Are Always Looking Around For A Familiar Face. It's Either 'there's A Movie Star!' Or, 'there's A Tv Star!' Or, 'there's The Guy Who Drew The Green Lantern!' It Means So Much To The Fans. It Makes Them Feel Like They're Where It's Happening. It's Like Woodstock.

Marvel Is A Cornucopia Of Fantasy, A Wild Idea , A Swashbuckling Attitude , An Escape From The Humdrum And Prosaic. It's A Serendipitous Feast For The Mind, The Eye , And The Imagination, A Literate Celebration Of Unbridled Creativity, Coupled With A Touch Of Rebellion And An Insolent Desire To Spit In The Eye Of The Dragon.
