“I was in New York when Clinton was elected the first time, and everyone I knew was in a state of mad euphoria. I wondered what had happened to my hard-headed friends? Almost everyone I knew was drunk on this great white hope. The next time I was in New York, no one had a good word to say about Clinton, but everyone was in love with Hillary. She was the last word. It's all so unreal. Of course, it's no different in England. Here everyone was besotted with Tony Blair. He was a new face.

“The success [of the X-Men], I think, is for two reasons. The first is that, creatively, the book was close to perfect ... but the other reason is that it was a book about being different in a culture where, for the first time in the West, being different wasn't just accepted, but was also fashionable. I don't think it's a coincidence that gay rights, black rights, the empowerment of women and political correctness all happened over those twenty years and a book about outsiders trying to be accepted was almost the poster-boy for this era in American culture.” ThinkingMenTryingYearsFirstsTwoBookDifferentReasonPoliticalCultureBlackPerfectBoysRightsHappenedGayFirst TimeEmpowermentTwentiesWestAcceptedErasOutsidersCoincidenceAmerican CultureFashionablePolitical CorrectnessBeing DifferentPostersGay RightsCorrectnessX Men Author:Mark Millar
