I just remembered that several years ago I attended a lecture by Pulitzer-Prize-winning “comix” artist Art Spiegelman, during which he compared himself to legendary poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Mr. Speigelman said his own work was much more difficult than poetry, because a poet just has to write words, while a comics artist has to write words and draw pictures.
