Return to 1998...
The Trainer's Handbook: Coming of Age in Kanto is a passion project and a love letter to my childhood. This book tells the story of the original Pokémon Red and Blue games through an in-universe lens as a guide to adolescence. The overall form is inspired by classic video game player's guides. Snippets of my own childhood during the time of release for these games are revealed in a series of four comics.
