Boxers by Gene Luen Yang
4.0

Yang’s artwork is what really drew me into this tale of the Boxer rebellion in China at the turn of the century. Bright and bold with strong lines - it reminds me of one of my favorite Shag prints, especially when the stylized magical realism kicks in and the Chinese opera gods spring to action.

I wish there’d been more historical background / an afterwards - been googling a lot about the battle of Peking and everything else this book portrayed ever since!
