Metropolis, USA - 1969
I came to the United States when I was 12 years old. My mother bought a small color TV when we moved to Miami. It was the first time I ever had one (in Europe, they were in black and white, and very expensive, too!). It didn’t take me long to become glued to the televison set, especially on Saturday mornings, with all the neat cartoons that were on the air. My favorite ones were the ones with Superman and Batman. I was also into art and loved to draw and paint. The superhero programs on TV inspired me a lot back then and I drew many pictures of them.
