Illustrations used for story-telling and mirth-making have enlivened Asian walls, scrolls, books, public and private places, and artifacts for millennia. Often playful and humorous, Asian pictorial stories lent conspicuous elements to contemporary comic art, particularly with their use of narrative nuance, humor, satire, and dialogue.
Illustrating Asia is a fascinating book on a subject that is of wide and topical interest. All of the articles consider cartoon and/or comic art in the historical and social setting of seven South, Southeast, and East Asian countries: India, Taiwan, Malaysia, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, China, and Japan. The contributors treat comic and narrative art―including comic books, comic strips, picture books, and humor and fan magazines―in both historical and socio-cultural perspectives, as well as portrayals of ancient Chinese philosophy, gender, and the enemy in cartoons and comics.
Contributors: Laine Berman, John A. Lent, Fusami Ogi, Rei Okamoto, Ronald Provencher, Aruna Rao, Kuiyi Shen, Shimizu Isao, Shu-chu Wei, Yingjin Zhang.

Shipping terms
The following shipping rates are for domestic orders only.
For queries about international shipping, please contact me via e-mail.
SHIPPING AND HANDLING FOR US ORDERS:
First book $4.00. Each additional book 1.50.
USPS is my preferred shipper.
Buyer assumes ALL responsibility for uninsured shipments. (I will pay for
insurance on orders of 60.00 or more.)
CUSTOMER SERVICE:
I try to provide excellent customer service. Feel free to check out my feedback,
and compare with other sellers.
I sell a lot of collectible items, and I package them well. I use the golden
rule of packaging. I ship things the way I would like to receive them.
If you have any questions about an item. Please ask BEFORE ordering.
RETURNS AND REFUNDS:
- All buyer returns are subject to a 15% restocking fee (with the exception of seller mistakes, see point 2 below; or orders that are cancelled by the buyer BEFORE they ship). This includes orders made by mistake; buyers remorse; not the item you meant to order; not what your loved one wanted for Xmas or birthday,
etc.
Original or return postage will not be refunded.
So, make sure you want to order something BEFORE you purchase.
Feel free to ask any questions for clarification before ordering. I try to get back to messages quickly.
If an item is returned damaged, higher restocking fees may apply, so make sure returned items are well-packaged and insured.
- If I make a mistake with an order (hopefully this will not happen) I will assume all costs for returns and refunds.
I don't want someone else to pay for a mistake I make... but don't want to pay for someone else's mistake, either.
Please remember, it takes up time to give great customer service and provide quality packaging of items, so make sure you ask questions before ordering, and don't order something you are not sure about.
