मैंने 1946 में 'टाइली' के साथ काम करना शुरू किया था। मुझे स्टेन ली ने काम पर रखा था।

एक बार जब प्रकाशकों की इसमें रुचि जगी, तो इसे विकसित होने में एक साल लग गया और शायद 1960 में इसे लॉन्च किया गया। लेकिन विली लम्पकिन ज़्यादा समय तक नहीं टिक पाया—वह बमुश्किल एक साल या डेढ़ साल ही चल पाया।

Once publishers got interested in it, it was a year in developing, and it was launched, I think, in 1960. But Willie Lumpkin didn't last long - it only last a little better than a year, maybe a year and a half.

उन्होंने मुझे जो पहली किताब दी, वह 'जीनी' थी, जो एक नौजवान किशोरी थी। शायद मैंने उसकी लगभग दस किताबों पर काम किया।

The first book that they gave me was Jeannie, a young teenager. I went on with her maybe ten books.

फिर उन्होंने मुझे 'जीनी' से हटाकर 'मिली द मॉडल' पर लगा दिया। वह मेरे लिए एक बहुत बड़ा अवसर था। वह बहुत अच्छा नहीं कर रहा था, लेकिन जाने क्यों, जब मैंने उस पर काम शुरू किया तो वह काफी सफल हो गया।

Then he took me off Jeannie and he gave me Millie the Model. That was a big break for me. It wasn't doing to well and somehow when I got on it became quite successful.

न्यूयार्क शहर में ग्यारह प्रकाशक थे, और जब सब कुछ सिमट गया, तो शायद वे घटकर चार या पाँच रह गए, और अंत में केवल तीन बचे—'द बिग थ्री'।

There were eleven publishers in New York City, and when it was all over, I think it went down to four or five, and then finally just the three of them, the Big Three.

मुझे कॉमिक्स की दुनिया में जाने की प्रेरणा इसलिए मिली क्योंकि मैं अपने पिता, जो एक माली थे, के साथ एक मज़दूर के रूप में काम कर रहा था।

What made me want to go into doing comics was I was working as a laborer with my father, a gardener.
