Pull Quotes: The real deal
Bill Willingham speaks to Newsarama about his Vertigo series FABLES being developed as a TV show for ABC:
“I’m cautiously optimistic, I would say. The one thing I will caution everyone is that the Fables comic book will always be the official Fables story. Part of me sees this as a grand thing, and part of me worries that they’ll never get it right. So I’m open to the possibility, but I will just say that the comic books are the thing.”
…
“I knew [the film] was in good hands, so I said to myself this isn’t my thing, not the comic; its different so don’t lose sleep over any changes from the comics version. With the comics it’s a bit more difficult – those are the real BPRD and Hellboy for me…”
-Mike Mignola on how he views the HELLBOY movies, from an interview at Forbidden Planet. And on how the public views the movies:
“Because of the films a lot more people now know who Hellboy is. Even though they have probably never seen the comics, they know it. I can be traveling on a plane, chatting to the person seated next to me, they ask me what I do and I say I’m a comics artist, tell them about Hellboy and now most of them know what I am talking about instead of giving me the blank look treatment.”
