"I was allowed full expression. There were no limitations set by editors, no limitations set by publishers, no limitations set by anyone... If you had something to tell which was worthwhile, this was an outlet for it." — Bill Everett, New York Comic Art Convention, July 1970, quoted in Heroic Tales: The Bill Everett Archives Vol. 2.
