How deeply you delve into each footnote is going be a reflection both of your own interests and, if I'm honest, your stamina. It's by a poet called Wathen Mark Wilks Call but is apparently most often anonymised in Victorian anthologies.

The narrative seamlessly shifts between present and past, and between America and China, mixing the intimacy of a memoir with the artist’s visual allusions to such sources as King Lear and The Scream. Occasionally playful yet profoundly moving. The parallels between Belle Yang’s journey of self-discovery and the lives and choices of her grandfather, his brothers, and their father (the Patriarch) speak powerfully of the conflicts between generations-and of possibilities for reconciliation.įorget Sorrow demonstrates the power of storytelling and remembrance, as Belle-in telling this story-finds the strength to honor both her father and herself. In Forget Sorrow, Yang makes her debut into the graphic form with the story of her father’s family, reunited under the House of Yang in Manchuria during the Second World War and struggling-both together and individually-to weather poverty, famine, and, later, Communist oppression. The history she’d ignored while growing up became a source of comfort and inspiration, and narrowed the gap separating her-an independent, Chinese-American woman-from her Old World Chinese parents. When Belle Yang was forced to take refuge in her parents’ home after an abusive boyfriend began stalking her, her father entertained her with stories of old China. “A healing portrait drawn in epic ink strokes.”- Elle ![]() ![]() ![]() His stellar trajectory was enhanced by two projects for America’s Vault Comics: Radio Apocalypse and – spanning October 2018 to October 2019 – 5-issue miniseries These Savage Shores. ![]() ![]() He’s also made serious inroads into the US superhero mainstream with stints on Marvel’s Venom and DC’s Justice League Dark Catwoman, the reinvented Swamp Thing and Batman: Gotham Nocturne.
