It was a hot steamy night in NYC, Victor had just finished coaching one of his fighters after a grueling 3 rounds in the Finals of the NY Golden Gloves Boxing Tournament. He stepped out of the ring, with his almost as exhausted lanky young whiplashed boxing apprentice. It was at that moment, with the lights blurring above my head and the noise of the crowd ringing in my ears that he realized that it’s time Victor, he said to himself, time to leave the world of boxing and go to where his heart and soul have always been - as a comic book illustrator. Thus began the journey of the creation of Takashi the Wanderer.
