Warrior in the Mist - A History - Page 3

Comic Book / Video Adaptation (cont'd)

In March of 1993 I recieved an job offer I couldn't refused. Six months earlier , in october of 1992, while returning from our honeymoon in Hawaii, my wife and I visited friends in Los Angeles. My friend Ray S. introduced me to Will Meugniot (pronouced "Mineo") who was working on the pitch package for a new animated series "Exo-Squad" for Universal Cartoon Studio. I showed Will my portfolio and a tape of the first part of Warrior in the Mist. In passing he mentioned a possible position as a oversea animation supervisor may be available, if the show got picked up. I said I'd consider it.

Much to my surprise, Will called and offered me the job, six month stay in Seoul, Korea. After a brief talk and salary discussion with his boss, Jim Graziano (which included this inspiring quote, " I don't know why anyone would want to do this, but here's what we paid"...etc.) I accepted the job, but that meant I had to cancel the Warrior in the Mist comic, since it's shipping date was in mid-april and I was to be in Seoul on April 2 and remain there for six months.

So, that's what happened, I cancelled the book, then left for Korea, where I worked as Exo-Squad's oversea supervisor. Warrior in the Mist return to it's dormant state on the back burner.

Now it being resurrected again, this time I want it to finally see the light of day.
