Victory Journal Issue #20: - HOME & AWAY

Victory Journal's monumental 20th issue titled "Home and Away" explores collisions and spectacles through the lens of memory and interpretation. The issue pays tribute to the masterful work of Neil Leifer, capturing iconic moments from the intense lights of Ali vs. Patterson to the poised athleticism of Carl Lewis mid-air. Readers will delve into close encounters with Eto'o and Drogba at the 2008 African Cup of Nations, explore football in the salted earth of Death Valley, witness passinho empress Celly IDD in Rio, and contemplate Yokozuna Teronofuji's solitary reign at the top.

The issue also covers Lewis Hamilton's defiance of the rules, pack dogs navigating the Idaho ice, drag racing, wingwalking, water polo, baseball manga, Scottish misconduct and redemption, and, by popular demand, rollerblading. Through the canvases of Chase Hall and Nikkolos Mohammed, and Kevin Huizenga's graphic resurrection of the cutthroat world of '80s semi-pro softball, readers are not only invited to observe but also encouraged to reflect on the resonances and implications of each story.
