The importance of comic books to our society was summed up by Deepak Chopra during the 2006 Comic-Con:
* “Comics engage both your left brain, because they are linguistically structured and there's language, and at the same time they engage your right brain because of the images. In fact, ... I’m sure ... brain waves would show coherence between the right and left brains, which is the prelude to creativity.
* “Art has a function because it not only reflects what’s happening in the collective psyche and collective consciousness, but it also in many ways mirrors of the evolution of our collective consciousness. If you track the evolution of these comics… from the 1930s right up to this moment, you’ll see that they actually mirror human evolution and particularly, the evolution of human consciousness.”
The Savage Sword Of Conan:
Considering that we have not stopped our governments from waging war, on the contrary, we are allowing them to start additional wars, I think it's probably a good time for us to try and engage our right and left brains at the same time.
