• When I first got back from the war, I said, 'I'm gonna write the Great American Novel about the Vietnam War.' So I sat down and wrote 1,700 pages of sheer psychotherapy drivel. It was first person, and there would be pages about wet socks and cold feet.

• It would just be a pamphlet. Three pages. The first page would be Drugs I Have Taken and then a list. The next page would be People I Have Slept With and then another list. Then the last page would be Famous People I Have Partied With and then another list. Because that's all people write in their autobiographies. Cut out all the bullshit and it's just a three-page pamphlet.

• Memory revises me.
  Even now a letter
  comes from a place
  I don’t know, from someone
  with my name
  and postmarked years ago,
  while I await
  injunctions from the light
  or the dark;
  I wait for shapeliness
  limned, or dissolution.
  Is paradise due or narrowly missed
  until another thousand years?
  I wait
  in a blue hour
  and faraway noise of hammering,
  and on a page a poem begun, something
  about to be dispersed,
  something about to come into being.

• Eisner mentioned he was uncomfortable calling Kirby someone with heavy artistic intent. I paraphrase, but Eisner felt Jack was mostly
  concerned with hitting his page count, telling good stories, and
  keeping his family fed. Not pursuing some aesthetic ideal - to seek
  that motive in Kirby's work was, he suggested, misguided. I happened to be holding the original artwork to the Devil Dinosaur #4 double-splash, which I turned around and showed Eisner - who took a moment, and said something uncharacteristic: “Okay, I might be wrong.
