I can combine my favorite performances from the golden age, that is, Robinson, Cagney, Bogart, with a character that, I suppose, is widely considered to be Stan Lee's masterpiece. I see it as a kind of foray into a pop art mix of, a kind of Lichtenstein [junguiano]mixed through Bogart and Cagney, but nothing is final yet. It's just conversation.“
