Il n'y va pas avec le dos de la cuillère... ^^'
"I'm definitely done with comics."
"I haven’t written one for getting on for five years. I will always love and adore the comics medium but the comics industry and all of the stuff attached to it just became unbearable."
"Hundreds of thousands of adults [are] lining up to see characters and situations that had been created to entertain the 12-year-old boys – and it was always boys – of 50 years ago. I didn’t really think that superheroes were adult fare. I think that this was a misunderstanding born of what happened in the 1980s – to which I must put my hand up to a considerable share of the blame, though it was not intentional – when things like Watchmen were first appearing."
"There were an awful lot of headlines saying ‘Comics Have Grown Up’. I tend to think that, no, comics hadn’t grown up. There were a few titles that were more adult than people were used to. But the majority of comics titles were pretty much the same as they’d ever been. It wasn’t comics growing up. I think it was more comics meeting the emotional age of the audience coming the other way."
"I said round about 2011 that I thought that it had serious and worrying implications for the future if millions of adults were queueing up to see Batman movies. Because that kind of infantilisation – that urge towards simpler times, simpler realities – that can very often be a precursor to fascism."
Déjà, je ne suis pas d'accord avec lui sur la cible des garçons de 12 ans d'il y a 50 ans, les comics ayant évolués avec le temps et les lecteurs. Après, sur la question des adultes, cela peut se discuter, chacun son point de vue et ses passions dirais-je. Mais si.. au bout du compte.. le fascisme naissait de l'intérêt pour les comics et leurs adaptations en films, cela signifierait que les populations modernes sont, intellectuellement, totalement perdues.
