The Comics Reporter, unplugged (Day 5)
Today, Tom Spurgeon has an interesting interview with writer Matt Fraction:
Spurgeon: Can you describe the extent of your professional interest in comics? I mean, do you want to do a lot of them? Is there someone's career in comics that would serve as a rough model for what you'd like to do?
Fraction: There are definitely stories that I want to tell that only work on the page; as long as I can't get them out of my system, I suppose I'll try writing them. I wouldn't mind doing a lot of comics but, at the same time, I tend to not play well with others so... so I don't know. There's definitely a degree of creative autonomy my day job affords me that I look for in comics to keep from going nuts.
And I'd be Frank Miller, circa 1985. Blank check, no oversight, full control, final cut, and a gajillion readers.
