Chinese Mythology Presented in Comic Books and Comic Semiotics
Chinese Mythology Presented in Comic BooksWhat do Pan Gu, who separates the sky from the earth, Nu Wa, who patches up the sky and Kua Fu, who chases the Sun, have in common?

But today their influence is weakening as Chinese children turn instead to the likes of Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings for their fantasy fix.
