I’ve had so many interests and tried so many things in my life and I never really decided, “Oh this is the thing I want to do”-I just, sort of, followed where my interests were and then realized at some point I was no longer dabbling, I had a career. Kelly Sue DeConnick: I never decided to pursue comics. : Do you remember having a specific moment when you realized that comics were things that people made and that you wanted to do that too?

Plus, it was the 70’s so I watched the Linda Carter show. : What was it about the characters’ styles or personalities that you remember responding to?

I remember an issue where the reflection in sunglasses was used as panel I think? I think the whole issue might have been flashback? The first creator I remember paying any attention to-the first time I looked to see who made a comic-it was Marv Wolfman and José Luis García-López on New Teen Titans. I remember collecting all the issues with Nocturna-I guess my inner goth kid was finding her path. Kelly Sue DeConnick: Yes, I grew up on Air Force bases and comics were a huge part of base culture.
: Were you a comic fan as a kid? Who were the characters and creators who really spoke to you? We sat down with Kelly Sue-who also penned AVENGERS ASSEMBLE, and CAPTAIN MARVEL & THE CAROL CORPS to talk about her earliest days reading comics, getting into the business, and the importance of honesty and kindness in life. Marvel readers will remember Kelly Sue DeConnick as the writer who picked up the Carol Danvers baton and helped catapult the character to the top of the A-list with two volumes of CAPTAIN MARVEL.
