Christopher Priest Quotes

American - Writer | June 30, 1961 -

'Thor,' 'Hulk,' whatever. Now, if the phone rings or when the phone rings, it's almost exclusively some project that has something to do with my ethnicity.

You don't want to have a character say what's bothering him; you want to define characters by action.

Character Action You Say Want Him

When you're talking about villainy, then you're automatically circling around to talk about justice.

Christopher Priest

Justice Talking You Talk Around

When I read comics, they were dense stories. When you put them down, there was a sense of having gotten a great deal from them.

Christopher Priest

Great You Down Sense Deal Stories

When I was writing 'Black Panther,' on one level, I was angry because DC would never let me write 'Batman,' so I was doing Marvel's 'Batman,' and Reverend Achebe became sort of the Joker to Panther's Batman.
