Example text
This would represent a basic characteristic in both The Spirit and any other kind of comic character. There isn’t time for him to wreak retribution on his enemies by more subtle means. I don’t know that the reader would stand still for subtle retribution. I think the reader wants to see a violent outburst. I think they want to see things settled by a gunfight. I just don’t see him as violent. I see him as a very human, real kind of character. I think we are basically primitive people who understand the importance of violence.
Or you get letters from people who write about something they feel good about, like the woman who wrote and said “God bless you” after I did a Christmas story. You do develop a consciousness, but you continue to write to an audience that you’ve created yourself, so you have a vision of the kind of audience you are talking to. You can’t work without an audience or the concept of an audience. That’s very important. In my case, I knew my audience to be a certain kind of person—a young college person, perhaps a little more well read than the average comic book reader.
Now, I did create a character called Lt. Grey. Lt. Grey was really what the two I Spy characters are today. I had precisely that idea, that I was going to create an intelligent, well-integrated, acceptable Negro who was every bit as good as his counterparts, and who fitted into the stream of things. Now, no one stopped me, but I remember I was also sensitive to interest; I was responsive to the times. Ebony was done with a great deal of love and affection. I want to tell you something I couldn’t discuss at the meeting, which I think is fair to discuss here.
