Comics: a powerful medium for storytelling

It's not all tights and flight. Coco Wang has drawn ten comics illustrating stories that have come out of the Sichaun province earthquake. Because they show scenarios in which the very best of human nature rose and responded to a terrible tragedy, these comics are both hopeful and heartbreaking. They are also unforgettable.

Wang said in an interview:

My purpose of creating these comics is that I want to create a forever monument of the victims, dead people, rescuers and volunteers of 5.12 earthquake. A way to let everyone in the world remember this event, remember the sorrow and regrets, remember the love, courage, hope and kindness of every Chinese who was involved in the earthquake. Especially, I want the foreign people to know these stories.

She's succeeded.
