Pretty Much All Comic-book People, Like All Hollywood People, For The Most Part, Are Pretty Liberal. I Think Especially Uk Writers. Alan Moore Is Probably The Most Radical Guy You'll Ever Meet. I Grew Up Loving Those Guys, So My Heroes, As A Kid, Were Radical Cartoonists, Essentially. I Couldn't Help But - I Grew Up In A Left-wing Household. But I Do Think It's Fun, Writing Right-wing Characters. I've Found It Interesting, Just As A Writer, To Get Inside Their Heads And Make Them Likeable.

What I Wanted To Do Was Drown Something Enormous, Like A Star Trek Or Star Wars Kind Of Space Opera-type Thing, But Actually Make It About Someone Who Was Just Married To The Wrong Guy, And That Guy Just Happens To Be This Amazing Dictator, And She Has To Get Her Kids As Far Away As Possible From This Guy. So Something That Could Almost Be A Tv Movie, If You'd Ground It And Set It In Wisconsin Or Something Like That, But To Give It This Enormous Setting.

It's Been A Very Interesting Exercise As A Writer - Writing A Little Family Group, Like The Incredibles Or The Simpsons Or Something Like That, And Setting It In A Big Star Wars-type Setting. It's Been Really Fun, Definitely Different From The Kind Of Thing I Normally Do.
