莫里森被问到怎么看待漫画行业的落寞:
我认为漫画行业的文艺复兴时代已经结束了吗,是的,确实如此,那么这是否意味着行业就此迈入漫画启蒙时代了?如今的主流漫画是由那些研究过漫画和电视叙事并成功将两者结合的人高效创作的,创作工业化水准很高,除去少数特例之外,毕竟任何行业总会存在个别精品,但自神奇人/Marvelman之后至今40余年,超级英雄漫画的核心基调与内在气质始终没有过本质改变,但这一困境也并非漫画行业独有,像流行音乐,时尚产业等也面对相同局面,根源在于资本无休止地追逐标准化,可复制的爆款产品,只去求这套模式能无限量产和反复售卖,却不做革新(Do I think the comic book Renaissance has ended? Yes, I do. Which means we’re onto the Comic Book Enlightenment? Mainstream comics today are written to a high degree of efficiency by people who have studied comics and television storytelling and combined them effectively. The standard is high but with a few exceptions, as there are always a few exceptions, the basic tone and tenor of superhero comics has stayed the same for more than 40 years since Marvelman. This is not a problem for comics alone, as the same fate has also befallen pop music and fashion, thanks to capitalism’s relentless demand for a streamlined, successful product that can be recreated and resold endlessly without ever changing.)
补充一句神奇人是1954年登场的,莫里森说“自打神奇人之后漫画有40年没做过革新了”,这里指的是1982年的阿兰摩尔版(磕魔法line的赶紧),也就是后来被迫改名的奇迹人/Miracleman,这漫画前面有多欢乐,后面就有多虐
