Tales of the Closet #8

"Walk Wind" is a poignant, character-driven story from Tales of the Closet #8 (1992), a landmark issue spotlighting intimate moments and quiet reckonings within a diverse group of teens. Written and illustrated by Ivan Velez Jr., the issue captures the emotional weight of identity, fear, and connection as Ramona adjusts to living with her father, Shorty grapples with new feelings, and Ben and Joey navigate their first date. With a cover by Ivan Velez Jr., the story unfolds in the raw, authentic voice of a community finding its footing—one sleepover, one confession, and one uncertain step at a time.
