• Boxers, Saints and Little Women

  This historical saga by Gene Luen Yang imparts the history of the Boxer Rebellion from the people in the rebellion rather than the dusty old textbooks focusing on the Europeans views of things. Filled with tragedy, magical realism and some humor with expressive visuals that keep the story moving.

• Art Books

  Aren’t art books great. You get more insight to some of your favorite shows or movies, see background art in full lush color, creator commentary, insight to production ideas and unseen art. It’s amazing to see how much thought and detail that goes into production. Obviously art books are objective since they usually cater to…
