“To me, [The Highwaymen] is a book about obsolescence… about raging against the dying of the light. About guys in the sunset of their lives proving to themselves that they’re still worth a damn. There’s a moment in 1998s ‘The Man in the Iron Mask’ movie, where the Four Musketeers, now far older, greyer, and slower, have to hold a prison against an overwhelming number of soldiers. And when it’s clear that there’s no way out for them, they make one last stand. And the leader of the French soldiers — who just fired on the charging Musketeers — says something like ‘Never have I seen such valor.’ A little cheesy, I know, but I really liked the sentiment that these men are heroes in a world that has forgotten what heroes look like. So, for inspirations, that and ‘Knight Rider.’ Because if you don’t have a car going up on two wheels in your car comic, then you’ve wasted your damned car.”
