Book Quote by John Rozum
“No one is putting comic book writers on the cover of Entertainment Weekly or Vanity Fair. No one cares whether we have cellulite. There are no paparazzi hiding in the bushes of our front yards. Even the wealthiest among us make very little compared to any c-list star. Even the biggest stars in the comics are completely unknown to anyone who doesn't read them.”
