...sixty-plus stories use a similar autobiographical approach, typically recounting the day's events. The most harrowing of these, written by Evan Forsch and drawn by Robert Ullman, tells of Forsch's escape from the 89th floor of the WTC's north tower.

If you look on the map, Haiti is right next to Santo Domingo, and at one time it was really one place, you know? Then you have Jamaica and Puerto Rico. I think musically all of that stuff in the Caribbean--the rhythm and the drums--you just get a natural sense of it.
