I get mad when people call me an action movie star. Indiana Jones is an adventure film, a comic book, a fantasy.

I watch comic book movies. Give me 'The Avengers,' give me 'Thor', those are my area. But I don't watch comedies.

It's very strange for me to do a comic book for my first movie. But I used to collect - and I love - comic books.

When you say 'comic book' in America, people think of Mickey Mouse, and Archie. It has a connotation of juvenile.

To the folks asking how they can become a comics writer if Marvel doesn't accept submissions... YOU WRITE COMICS!!

These days, you don't just break into comics once. You have to break in again and again after each job is finished.

Unfortunately, when you look at the amount of comic book heroes out there, minority heroes are few and far between.

I just like the comic book sensibility. If I can turn them into films and TV series, that's just icing on the cake.

I'm a big illustration and comic book fan. In my eyes, comic books and illustration are the same kind of art forms.

If you've got comic book fans and soap fans and country fans, I think you've hit the whole world. What else is there?

But one of my absolutely favorite things to do is go to comic book stores on the weekends. I'm a huge comic book nerd.

My work looks like a comic book in form, but it's not a typical comic book in content. I write autobiographical stuff.

There's something about the comic book genre that I think is so cool and artsy and unique. It's not like anything else.

I'm doing research for a large comic book on the Beat Generation guys - Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac and those guys.

To me, a purely good individual or purely bad individual, that's a comic book - that's a fantasy - and I don't do fantasy.

Basically, I'm an EC comic book guy, man. You can show me anything that's high-spirited horror, and I'll be there giggling.

I was not a giant comic book fan as a kid, but to the extent that I did read comics, Spider-Man was always my favorite guy.

I think nobody knows more about comic book characters than Seth Green. I thought I knew a lot, and he leaves me in the dust.

Most people think of me as a makeup guru, but might be surprised to know I'm also a trained artist and a huge comic book fan.

Anybody who knows me knows I would never read a comic book. And I certainly would never read anything written by Kevin Smith.

I feel like there are comic book artists who are comic book artists, and then there's comic book artists who are cartoonists.

I don't look at my work as being violent. 'Officer Downe' is more campy than anything. It's a comic book, so it's funny to me.

I always loved Batman, the Michael Keaton 'Batman.' I loved those films, and Superman, but I was never a real comic book geek.

You get used to it I suppose, but it's always a bit disappointing to see a comic referred to as 'by [writer]' and no one else.

I'm so not a comic book guy. The most I knew about 'The Flash,' as a little kid, was the Underoos. I had 'The Flash' Underoos.

I thought I had a great opportunity when I started doing my comic book in 1972. I thought there was so much territory to work in.

Artists are not your art monkeys. They are your collaborators. They should be given all due consideration to follow their journey.

A lot of people who saw 'The Avengers' didn't read comic books, don't like comic book movies, and enjoyed it. That was huge for me.

I stole comic books from my brother when I was a kid, but I was never like an avid fan. I can't claim to be like a comic book geek.

I didn't follow the whole 'X-Men' story because it got too complicated. I'd pick up a comic book and have no idea what was going on.

I want to play the Green Lantern. I'd love to do a comic book hero. Go to the gym, get all buff, puff up. That would be a lot of fun.

When I was a kid, I always thought that I'd be a comic book artist. It took a long time to start thinking that I could be a musician.

Quite often in comic book movies, very good actresses are relegated to being the girlfriend or the helper or the sidekick or something.

At age 10, or even 15, it would have meant the world to me to see a Pakistani girl portrayed positively, let alone as a comic book superhero.

What interested me in doing 'Dragonball' was that it's a huge comic book series that has built a great fan base, and it's a great action movie!

I wasn't a comic book geek as a kid. I read some, but it was just like, 'Oh, I have this comic book here.' It wasn't like I was collecting them.

I never was a big comic book fan. Obviously I'd heard them growing up from my friends who did read them, but I never was a big comic book reader.

I watched so many comic book movies where the actors weren't as built as the characters in the book. It made me mad because they didn't look right.

I think too many comic book covers are way too busy, crammed with far too much information, both visual and verbal, that just becomes a dull noise.

I'm a big comic book person. I love Captain America. I like John Henry. I'm hoping to play one of the superhero characters that's coming from Marvel.

At a young age, I was interested in comic books, which was really how I learnt to read. The name Cage came from a comic book character called Power Man.

My grandfather bought me my first Marvel comic book when I was six years old, and since then, it has been an ongoing love. It was an 'X-Men' comic book.

'The Green Turtle' was created in the 1940s by a cartoonist named Chu Hing, one of the first Asian Americans to work in the American comic book industry.

With 'Luke Cage,' we all, as a collective wanted to tell the truest story that we could but, at the same time, also be very true to the comic book genre.

What adults don't always understand is that to a kid, a comic book is like a movie. My Marvel comics took my imagination to other places - other galaxies.

Tick is a cartoon character, I don't know if you're familiar with him. This is the third step in his evolution. Comic book to cartoon to, now, live-action.

I had a lot of funky things as a kid. I had dinosaurs and comic book stuff. I was eccentric; imagination drove my decor. Dinosaurs, for sure, were in there!

There is a friend of mine that is very into the comic book world, and he showed me '300,' and I looked at it, and I said, 'Wow, that could be a great film.'

Unlike novel characters, comic book characters last an eternity. When a character is changed beyond recognition, there's no longer the merchandising aspect.

They're so effusive with their love... theatre fans. I'm a big comic book fan and there's a lot of parallels with them that they're just dedicated and loyal.
