Forty years is a long time ago. The trash talking at each and others while struggling to find validation, it resonates. Kids wanna belong. Skateboarding requires dedication and a lot practice, and a willingness to risk serious injury. Story, art, pacing, it all looks good.
I love this comic series. The artwork is so real and the story line is perfect. The only trouble is I read it too fast. The starting date should be 1975, not 1985. Is perfect representation of mid 1970’s. Keep drawing and writing.
