“A lot of comic conventions go way beyond comic books and include other parts of pop culture, like celebrities and science fiction and movies and books. So I go to them either as a celebrity, or as a fan, because I'm a big sci-fi geek.” WayBookBigsCultureFictionFansScience FictionPopsComicSci FiConventionsComic BookGeekPop Culture Author:Jane Wiedlin
“My platform has been to reach reluctant readers. And one of the best ways I found to motivate them is to connect them with reading that interests them, to expand the definition of reading to include humor, science fiction/fantasy, nonfiction, graphic novels, wordless books, audio books and comic books.” WayHas BeensBookReadingFoundInterestFictionFantasyNovelReaderScience FictionDefinitionsBest WayComicNonfictionPlatformsComic BookGraphicReluctantGraphic NovelsAudioAudio Books Author:Jon Scieszka

“Speed is not an indicator of quality in terms of fiction. That's true of one's relative slowness or swiftness - taking 10 years to write a book or taking 10 days to write a book (or a comic or a film or an angry postcard) guarantees nothing in terms of how good or how bad that story is.” WritingYearsBookStoriesFilmTermFictionQualityAngrySpeedComicGuaranteesRelativeIndicatorsSlownessPostcardsSwiftness Author:Chuck Wendig
“I really wish that peoplewould just say, 'Yes, it's a comic. Yes, this is fantasy. Yes, this is Science Fiction,' and defend the genre instead of saying, 'Horror is a bit passe so this is Dark Fantasy,' and that' s playing someone else's game. So that's why I say I'm a fantasy writer and to hell with 'It doesn't read like what I think of as a fantasy'. In that case what you think of as a fantasy is not a fantasy. Or there is more to it than you think.” ThinkingGamesWishBitsDarkFictionCasesFantasyHellHorrorScience FictionComicGenreDark FantasyPlaying Someone Author:Terry Pratchett
