From Forrest: Could you give us a mission-statement type quotation for people who don’t read comics anymore but are open-minded? DOCTOR FATE should appeal to anyone who believes real life can be its own mystical experience. How’s that?

I’ll try to answer one question a day while I’m working on these scripts.
