Jarret Williams talked about his latest book Super Pro K.O.! with newsarama.com writer David Pepose about the book and how it came to be.
"I always would watch wrestling and would think about all of these ideas for characters. Yoko NoNo is like a combination of Yokozuna, E. Honda, and Rikishi. My interests in old Hollywood and that whole scene sparked some wrestlers like Glitz -n -Glam. But then, some wrestlers like Nega Spider are truly random. The Other is a nod to all the wrestlers that hail from parts Unknown. That always sounded so mysterious to me. I remember reading the backs of Marvel trading cards and when I saw that a characters origin was "Unknown," it freaked me out a little bit."

Super Pro K.O.! debuted a few months ago and should be at your local comic shop now, but if not it can be ordered directly from publisher Oni Press.
