Asian Comics
Grand in its scope, Asian Comics dispels the myth that, outside of Japan, the continent is nearly devoid of comic strips and comic books. Relying on his fifty years of Asian mass communication and comic art research, during which he traveled to Asia at least seventy-eight times and visited many studios and workplaces, John A. Lent shows that nearly every country had a golden age of cartooning and has experienced a recent rejuvenation of the art form. As only Japanese comics output has received close and by now voluminous scrutiny, Asian Comics tells the story of the major comics creators outside of Japan. Lent covers the nations and regions of Bangladesh, Cambodia, China, Hong Kong, India, I...
Train
Chihoi's The train is a graphic novel translations of Hung Hung's Carousel.
The Library
Chihoi, a young Hong Kong artist, has had books published in Chinese, Italian and French. The Library is the first English edition of his work. Chihoi is a poet of the quotidian. He is also the poet of the invisible. He illuminates his stories with a warm spark. He imbues them with a rhythm. His stories are more complicated than they appear, open and complex and full of little contradictions and they resonate long after we turn the last page. They are like the calm after a storm, when the landscape is revealed anew.

But when Clifford undergoes a magical growth spurt overnight, he attracts the attention of a genetics company looking for a way to supersize animals.

This graphic novel adaptation features original illustrations and exclusive new scenes and stories not seen in the movie.
The Sea
Told in expressive pencil drawings, provocative symbolism, and a madness that doesn’t just bubble beneath the surface of the water, but drenches the sailor―and the reader―like a tidal wave, this story is about a man, literally and figuratively, lost at sea.

Besiege Me
Poetry. Asian & Asian American Studies. LGBTQIA Studies. A new collection six years after Nicholas Wong won the Lambda Literary Award for Gay Poetry, BESIEGE ME opens with a timely mocking tone that confronts the tension between China and Hong Kong. Poems in the book speak queerly of urban existences crushed by political and economic powers--"What cities & bodies deny a sometime-crisis, / not knowing they're a series of which?" Behind the portrayals of the speaker, his parents, his home city, and domestic migrant workers there, the collection boldly outlines the vulnerability of entrapment and its masochistic pleasures. BESIEGE ME seeks for a redefinition of transcultural poetics with its linguistic playfulness.
