Quote Of The Week
"I think if you scratch any figurative artist -- you might find a failed cartoonist -- it is certainly what I wanted to be -- I loved comics -- the early Spiderman ones -- the ones drawn by Steve Ditko -- amazed me -- as did the story -- the misfortune that Peter Parker's gift is born of -- the idea that the extraordinary human is born in the suffering child was something new to Comics -- Marvel was full of mutants and wounded psyches -- the dented-can people became heroes." -- Tony Fitzpatrick
