I’ll never forget the fan letter we got when I was writing Spec Spidey, from the kid who asked, “Dear Marvel: Does Peter David write Spider-Man’s jokes, or are they ad libs?”

Personally, it’s the writers who keep bringing me back to comic books. I can name a handful of writers artists — Glenn Fabry (warning, evil pop-ups), Jill Thompson, Dave Gibbons, Dave McKean, Alex Ross, et cetera — but it’s usually because of the writers they’ve worked with more than anything else.
