Often, it seems, we're [Christians] perceived more as guilt dispensers than as grace dispensers.

It's not movies and it's not "fine art. " The beauty of a comic is that it's clear, direct communication. My work is getting simpler and more cartoony because I'm much more interested in communication now than in any illustrative value.

In a way, 'Sin City''s designed to be paced somewhere between an American comic book and Japanese manga.
