Oddly, I Think If You Look At Comic Books, You Look At The Shelves In The Store, It's Predominantly Male Characters, Historically. But If You Look Outside The Window It's 52-percent Female, And Something Odd Is Going On There. So I Do Think It's Your Responsibility As A Writer, Really, To Create Stuff That Little Girls Can Get Into Too. I Want My Daughters To Have Role Models That Are Female.

Jesus, Man. Why Do People Want To Be Paris Hilton And Nobody Wants To Be Spider-man?

Pretty Much All Comic-book People, Like All Hollywood People, For The Most Part, Are Pretty Liberal. I Think Especially Uk Writers. Alan Moore Is Probably The Most Radical Guy You'll Ever Meet. I Grew Up Loving Those Guys, So My Heroes, As A Kid, Were Radical Cartoonists, Essentially. I Couldn't Help But - I Grew Up In A Left-wing Household. But I Do Think It's Fun, Writing Right-wing Characters. I've Found It Interesting, Just As A Writer, To Get Inside Their Heads And Make Them Likeable.

It's Been A Very Interesting Exercise As A Writer - Writing A Little Family Group, Like The Incredibles Or The Simpsons Or Something Like That, And Setting It In A Big Star Wars-type Setting. It's Been Really Fun, Definitely Different From The Kind Of Thing I Normally Do.
