“I started drawing comics, and at first I was very influenced by the whole pop art movement, you know, Batman was on TV and all that pop art stuff?

And they weren't superhero comics.” KnowsFirstsArtWholeNextStuffInfluenceMovementTvsPopsEastDrawingNewspapersCopiesVillageSuperheroPop ArtEast Village Author:Trina Robbins
