Announcing his partnership, Federer Instagrammed this picture (above) and wrote to his 8.1 million followers: “Like many people who grew up in Switzerland, I have fond memories of reading Globi comic books. His adventures turned into my adventures. Today, as I look at my old books from 1979 and early 80’s, I am honoured and excited to actually be reunited with Globi to be able to share our story together. I hope you enjoy the stories as much as we did writing them. For more information
