Theme
Each Boxman book in the Box Man Comics series will have a particular message which we would like our readers to understand or grasp. Our debut novel is called Box Man because we feel that everybody has been stuck in " a box" or situation.
Generally, novels or books begin with a theme, then move towards symbolism, and irony. We would like you to create your own opinion of Box Man. We hope you have just as much fun reading it as we have in writing it.

Order Box Man
Boxman, could not have been created if it were not for the friendly staff at Robertson Publishing in Los Gatos, CA. They staff was very instrumental in assiting in the developmental process and logistics of the book. If your interested in Boxman and ordering a copy for your school, home, or work please visit www.rp-author.com/uto-uko
Characters
The four famous people in the book are Toni Morrison, Ludwig Van Beethoven, Albert Einstein, and Tupac Shakur. We decided to use these four characters in in the first edition of Box Man for not only their influence or impact on society. But, their ability to help people especially students to "think outside the box".
