You're working on the graphic novel "Holy Terror, Batman"?
Yes. It's about 40 pages from finished now; it's 122 pages. [Batman is] fighting al-Qaida.
Speaking of which: You engendered some controversy on a radio show, comparing our invading Iraq with our response to Pearl Harbor. Since Iraq didn't attack us, did you really mean to say that?
When the U.S. was attacked at Pearl Harbor, we didn't just declare war on Japan, we declared war on Germany. It was an international fascist effort. And so when I said that the attack on Iraq made sense, it was the same way we had to attack not just Afghanistan. Instead we had to attack the center of Islamofascism.
Germany and Japan were allied; Afghanistan and Iraq aren't. But moving on: I may be your only interviewer who, like you, wrote for Marvel Comics.
We all have our sins in the past. That's why we live in Sin City! (both laugh)
