One of my favorite graphic novelists ever,
Gene Yuen Lang, has just announced exclusively with
Wired.com his latest project
Boxers and Saints. You can check out a 10-page excerpt of it over at
Wired -- suhweet!
Now, Yang announces his latest graphic novel project, Boxers & Saints, exclusively at Wired.com. Due out this September from First Second Books, the slipcased edition will contain two volumes that explore the stories of two peasants during the Boxer Rebellion in China who struggle with issues of identity during a time in Chinese history when many were asked to choose between their country and their faith. While Boxers tells the story of a peasant who joins the Rebellion, Saints follows the spiritual journey of a Chinese woman who converts to Catholicism.
I just appreciate what an amazing story-teller/artist he is. And reading more about how he started, inspires me to get my ass off the couch...or something to that effect :)
