People who are exposed to great Wonder Woman stories love her. You have to do your best work and get it out there so people can experience it. Gail Simone Read Quote
With ‘Red Sonja’, it’s a single character leading a book although there’s a supporting cast, whereas ‘Secret Six’ is basically six characters who have equal time and equal place in the book, so it’s got a team dynamic that ‘Red Sonja’ doesn’t have. Gail Simone Read Quote
The ‘Womanthology’ book got a lot of people jobs, inside and outside the industry, and I think stuff like that tends to be really effective. You have something in print that you can point an editor or a publisher to, and it makes a huge difference for a lot of people. Gail Simone Read Quote
Catman – what I really like about him is he’s a really grounded character in terms of – he’s an excellent tracker. We’re giving him a set of new skills for ‘Secret Six’ as it starts again anew. But he’s very sexy, very dangerous, unpredictable. Gail Simone Read Quote
I think Tumblr tends to be – you can get more in-depth with things and more blogging, and Tumblr has been real great for me in terms of research because I have contacts with people from all walks of life all over the globe. Gail Simone Read Quote
We have so many fantastic creators – female creators as well as male creators that have their own followings, their own fans, and their own books that are successful. Gail Simone Read Quote
My career path is the weirdest thing. I was a hairdresser, I worked at Marvel for a few months, and then I was signed to a DC exclusive for eight years. Gail Simone Read Quote
I love DC. I love the people there, and I am deeply in love with that universe, but it meant that for a long time, when other offers came up, I always had to turn them down. Gail Simone Read Quote
I try to make every issue new-reader friendly. I remember being frustrated many times trying to pick up new series that were overladen with baggage. The trick is to make that backstory seem like something compelling that they will want to explore rather than an obstacle course they have to crawl through to get to the story. Gail Simone Read Quote
The fishnets on Black Canary never bothered me: they fit her character. It’s the same for me with the bikini… most people don’t wear a lot of clothes in these stories, and it’s a big part of what makes her instantly recognizable. Do I want her in a raincoat? Not really. Gail Simone Read Quote
