“It’s nuts to me. Like I said, growing up being a huge comic book fan, I loved Spider-Man. I remember that I used to go into my brother’s room when he’d go to school and I’d sneak his comic books out and read them and try to put them back exactly how they were so he wouldn’t know that I had touched them.”
