Here's an interview with Frank Espinnosa, the creator of the Rocketo comic book I mentioned (but have not yet seen) a couple of days ago.
Newsarama: The main character's name is Rocketo Garrison. Issue #1 starts at his small beginning as a young boy. Can you tell us what he's like?
Frank Espinosa: Before his compass lights, Rocketo is much like any other young boy, except that he has this incredible genetic gift that makes his natural sense of curiosity ten fold.. So he reads tons of books on old myths and explorers, he asks tons of questions, and loves to explore the small Island where he is born.
We get to see how he spends his time with his parents, and how he gets to learn certain values that will help him later on in his Journeys. Because the Rocketo series is a long saga of this explorer's life, I wanted to start with his youth and work my way to Rocketo as an older man. The last journey, called Rocketo: Journey to ULTAMO takes place when Rocketo is in his late fifties, maybe even a bit older. So I wanted the audience to understand this character from start to finish. As the stories progress there will be more flashbacks to his youth and his friends on the island where he grew up. Right now it's broad strokes to get him moving and ready for Journey to the Hidden Sea.
