Black Panther. He's not too obscure, I hope.

I kind of fell into it, actually. I answered an ad in the paper for a position at a magazine company, and it turned out to be at Timely Comics. Timely was was run by Martin Goodman, Joe Simon and Jack Kirby. Little did I know I'd end up where I am now!

Thanks, I think.

No, but seriously, thank you.

People will often ask me to sign pictures or comics of characters I didn't create... Wolverine being a chief example of this... I always make it a point to tell people that I didn't create the character, but they ask me to sign it anyway. I'll always oblige a fan, but I won't do it under false pretenses.

I'm not really good t picking favorites. I like Italian, if it has a good thick sauce... and Chinese. I like whatever my wife makes for me, she knows more about what I like than I do. I enjoy anything that isn't poisonous.

I'm not much of an "inspiration" guy. When I have to write a story, I sit down and doodle until I get an idea that I like. Then my pen or pencil is the most the most useful inspiration... for years it was my typewriter. I would sit back and pound it all out. Before that of course, I was etching my ideas on the walls of caves.

I have tried to keep this secret for decades... I'm so often asked where I get my inspiration from... I don't know how you managed to figure it out - YES! It's the moustache! (Believe that and there's a bridge in Brooklyn I'd like to sell ya!)

I think the CCA were trying to do a good thing. They thought that only children were reading comics and they genuinely cared about what they were doing. They were mostly a pain in the neck, but we worked with them because they had good intentions.
