“I went into Hollywood and met Mike Aarons and went to Grantray-Lawrence Animation to work on the, by today's standards, extremely cheap and crude Marvel superheroes cartoons which basically consisted of taking stacks of the comic book art, taking parts of the art, pasting it down, extending it down into drawings and occasionally a new piece of art to bridge the comic book panels and limited animation and lip movement.” ArtBookTodayPiecesMovementMetsStandardsHollywoodLipsDrawingComicBridgesComic BookCartoonSuperheroAnimationMikeCrudeExtending Author:Mike Royer

“Part of battle has been getting Hollywood to recognize that comic books and superheroes are not synonymous. That's been a huge breakthrough, just in recent years really, and as a result of that recent breakthrough, we've had movies like 300, Road to Perdition, and A History of Violence, that very few people realize were based on comic books and graphic novels. It's very important to make that differentiation.” PeopleYearsHas BeensImportantBookRealizingResultsNovelViolenceHugeBattleHollywoodComicComic BookSuperheroBreakthroughGraphicGraphic NovelsDifferentiationPerdition Author:Michael Uslan

“I don't think it's necessarily 100-percent true. But comic books have infiltrated the mainstream Hollywood in ways that I don't think I ever would have seen or thought imaginable a while ago. But it's also cyclical. You saw it in the '80s when it became kind of huge again. And then it disappears for a while, then it comes back again, then it disappears for a while. So yeah, there's something about that.” ThinkingWayKindBookSawsHugePercentHollywoodYeahDisappearComicMainstreamComic Book80sBack Again Author:Ryan Reynolds
