Brian Michael Bendis

This is something I learned when I was working at a newspaper: when you put something on paper, whether it’s words or pictures, and it’s staring back at the reader, they are now alone in the room with them for as long as it takes them to turn the page. Whereas on television, the images fly by.

Well it’s been about 100 years and every attempt at a comics writers’ union has failed miserably. There is, sadly, a long history of short-term thinking and self-destructive behavior among my fellow comic book creators. No matter how many horror stories they have heard they won’t even go so far as to hire themselves a lawyer when they need it. It breaks my heart. I am a very proud union member of the Writers Guild. And I can’t imagine my fellow comic creators being able to pull something like this together.
