“Haida Manga blends North Pacific Indigenous iconographies and framelines with the graphic dynamism of Asian manga.” https://mny.ca/en/biography
This is another example of the meshing of two different cultural forms while not letting the beliefs of one expirate the traditions of the other. It’s also a very amazing book for all ages!
