PROTEGE

Hmm, who is this dude? Friend or foe?

When Juan sent me the art for this page, I had an instant flashback to the comics I used to love as a kid. The gritty street-fighter super heroes were the guys I dug the most, and I set this scene in Hell’s Kitchen as a pretty obvious ode to books like Daredevil (Power Man and Iron Fist and Moon Knight were some other faves). Juan did such a great job capturing the seedy industrial vibe, it took me back to the back-alley / dark warehouse / tenement roof-top battlegrounds that used to spark my imagination.
