Graphic Novels Quotes

Cinema isn’t just a good medium for translating graphic novels. It’s specifically a good medium for superheroes. On a fundamental, emotional level, superheroes, whether in print or on film, serve the same function for their audience as Golden Age movie stars did for theirs: they create glamour Picture Quote #1

People unacquainted with graphic novels, including journalists, tend to think of Watchmen as a book by Alan Moore that happens to have some illustrations. And that does a disservice to the entire form Picture Quote #1

I respond very well to rules. If there are certain parameters it’s much easier to do something really good. Especially when readers know what those are. They know what to expect and then you have to wrong-foot them. That is the trick of crime fiction. And readers come to crime and graphic novels wanting to be entertained, or disgusted Picture Quote #1

Most - and I mean maybe 99% or more - graphic novels are simply fat comicbooks. The term is a bogus, cocked-up concept some marketing whizkid conceived to get comics on the shelves of bookstores Picture Quote #1

The graphic novel? I love comics and so, yes. I don’t think we talked about that. We weren’t influenced necessarily by graphic novels but we certainly, once the screenplay was done, we talked about the idea that you could continue, you could tell back story, you could do things in sort of a graphic novel world just because we kind of like that world Picture Quote #1

I felt there was a certain amount of violence in the graphic and that it could still be cheated on screen so you could still have a hard PG-13 and open up your audience. Anybody can read the graphic novel. If you’re 14, you can go out and buy it, and I felt that if you’re 14 you should be able to see this movie [The Loosers] Picture Quote #1

One of my favorite graphic novels of all time is Grant Morrison’s ‘Earth-2.’ Picture Quote #1

There are still some people out there who believe comic books are nothing more than, well, comic books. But the true cognoscenti know graphic novels are - at their best - an amazing blend of art literature and the theater of the mind Picture Quote #1

I’ve always been really impressed with some of the longer graphic novels and thought it would be really amazing if one day I could try something like that Picture Quote #1

I read graphic novels, here and there, but I’m not a comic book guy, as much Picture Quote #1

I have to read comic books all first, because now when you get into graphic novels, they are definitely in deep graphic Picture Quote #1

Playing Destroyo, who was sort of a Silence Of The Lambs type character, I’d say I was wearing about 50 pounds of rubber and foam rubber and makeup. But I had no idea who The Tick was. I’m not a big graphic-novel guy. I don’t even know if The Tick was a graphic novel! Picture Quote #1

Seriously, you know - I love to write. I enjoy the process; I enjoy the different processes, because writing for film and television and graphic novels is all very different. So I’ve never had the feeling of, ‘Oh, you have to do this one thing.’ Picture Quote #1

I read a lot of graphic novels - some of my favorites graphic novelists or artists are Rebecca Kraatz, Gabrielle Bell, Graham Roumieu, Tom Gauld, and Renee French Picture Quote #1

Graphic novels are such a visually creative world - it’s really interesting what they can do in one sketch. Now I’m hooked Picture Quote #1

My reading preferences are kind of all over the board - I read nonfiction, I read graphic novels Picture Quote #1

When it comes to creating graphic novels I always deliberately work on something completely different to the previous one Picture Quote #1

I think reading has got so many more enemies now that graphic novels have kind of flipped over to that side Picture Quote #1

I’m hoping to develop a lot of graphic novels and television shows and films and animation. I’ve got my hands in a lot of different things! Picture Quote #1

I never think there’s any competition between films. I root for everybody’s films. I especially have a fond place in my heart for graphic novels and comics Picture Quote #1

It really does feel, partly because of graphic novels kids read, like there’s a lot of freedom with how you can use both images and words, because we think in both of those ways Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Personally, I’d never seen a graphic novel. I knew they existed because friends of mine like Jonathan Ross collect them and some very literate and intelligent people really rate the graphic novel as a form Picture Quote #1

In my office in Florida I have, I think, 30 manuscript piles around the room. Some are screenplays or comic books or graphic novels. Some are almost done. Some I’m rewriting. If I’m working with a co-writer, they’ll usually write the first draft. And then I write subsequent drafts Picture Quote #1

Graphic novels are not traditional literature, but that does not mean they are second-rate. Images are a way of writing. When you have the talent to be able to write and to draw, it seems a shame to choose one. I think it’s better to do both Picture Quote #1

I hate this word ‘graphic novel.’ It is a term publishing houses have created for the bourgeois so they wouldn’t be ashamed of buying comics... I’m not a graphic novelist. I am a cartoonist and I make comics and I am very happy about it Picture Quote #1

I never wanted to make a graphic novel. As soon as you become a ‘writer,’ you have to be intelligent all the time... I like the fact that I have the right once in a while to say silly things Picture Quote #1

Expand the definition of ‘reading’ to include non-fiction, humor, graphic novels, magazines, action adventure, and, yes, even websites. It’s the pleasure of reading that counts; the focus will naturally broaden. A boy won’t read shark books forever Picture Quote #1

Anyone who sets foot into the ‘Watchmen’ universe and isn’t just a little nervous should be given a few days of electroshock therapy. I’ve always considered ‘Watchmen’ to be one of the best graphic novels ever written, and when it came out back in 1986 I was as blown away as everyone else. Just masterful Picture Quote #1

Julio’s Day is a story of one man’s life, but it’s a great more than that as well. It’s the story of the life of a century, also told as if a day. Beginning with Julio’s birth in 1900 and ending with his death in 2000, the graphic novel touches on most of the major events that shaped the 20th century Picture Quote #1
