I sort of jumped out of movies and into the lifeboat of comics. I loved it right away. It was the opposite of film school. Whatever was in my imagination could end up in the finished product. There were just no limitations. Brian K. Vaughan comicendfilm share on social
I start with something that makes me angry or confused, and then I write about it. It's a form of self-help. Brian K. Vaughan angryconfuseform Change image and share on social
