"In addition to a lot of movies, my Dad introduced me to Graphic Novels
shortly after i got out of the hospital when I was 15. About the same time
as I discovered THE MAXX, my dad got me Frank Miller's "The Dark Knight",
which then led me to The Killing Joke, A Death In the Family, Hard Boiled,
Frank Millers Daredevil, and Alan Moore's WATCHMEN. With the exception of
The MAXX, Watchmen felt the most real, despite the whole particle
teleportation to Mars thing, and the airships. Maybe it was because most of
the Minutemen didnt even have powers, they just WANTED to be superheroes,
and the world hated them. Or maybe it was because Silk Spectre fell out of
love with Manhattan because he was a workaholic, or because Rorshach saw
dead dogs when he looked at an ink blot, but never really told anyone what
he felt, or maybe it was the fear and the desperation of the guy who was
scared of the Black Freighter, and where else can someone like the Comedian
be a rapist AND a hero?
Regardless, I was unknowingly obsessed with it back then, as most of the
superheroes i drew at that time were just bunk combinations of those
characters.

Looking back now, a lot of things from Watchmen
stuck with me, i always said my first tattoo was going to be a Rorshach
test. I have always looked at owls as lonely but heroic animals. I BELIEVED
that when you teleported, you vomitted, so much so that I called bullshit on
Seth Brundle in The Fly. I never saw anything wrong with Dr Manhattans work
ethic and his complete disregard for the rest of the world and his
relationships. I subconsciously adapted his work ethic, which is probably a
bad thing. I kept sugar cubes in my pocket when i worked at the credit card
processing company in sacramento. I liked the 12 monkey's movie marketing
because it reminded me of "who watches the watchmen?" and I even repeatedly
dreamt of going to Mars for a day.
In fact, i still do"
