Before Watchmen: Nite-Owl #1

[informationgeek]

"Leaving aside the fact that the Watchmen characters were variations on pre-existing characters created for the Charleton Comics universe, it should be pointed out that Alan has spent most of the last decade writing very good stories about characters created by other writers, including Alice (from Alice in Wonderland), Dorothy (from Wizard of Oz), Wendy (from Peter Pan), as well as Captain Nemo, the Invisible Man, Jeyll and Hyde, and Professor Moriarty (used in the successful League of Extraordinary Gentlemen). I think one loses a little of the moral high ground to say, “I can write characters created by Jules Verne, H.G. Wells, Robert Louis Stevenson, Arthur Conan Doyle and Frank Baum, but it’s wrong for anyone else to write my characters." - J. Michael Straczynski (I do question the "very good" stories part when it comes some Moore's later works)

Saga #28

"It’s a war comic in the same way I suppose that Casablanca is a war movie. The war is in the background, but it’s about these very deep, personal relationships between people. But regardless, there’s still a war going on and that means people are going to die, and they’re going to die pretty often. It is hard. Harder sometimes for Fiona [Staples], especially, because she puts so much love and care into designing these characters." -- Brian K. Vaughan

Blackcross #4

"I don't know that Golden Age superhero comics ever had a polished shine: quite the opposite in fact. They were kind of raw and odd, and often, in their way, a little creepy. That's where I'm coming from here. I've been interested in the comics of that era since the 1990s. They have a peculiar, ashen magic to them. So reframing these characters in the context of a ghost story, and having them emerge from The Other Side as it were, makes perfect sense to me." -- Warren Ellis
