Destroy, de-story. Restore, re-story.

Coco Wang, a comic artist from China, is producing a series of strips related to the May 12 earthquake to tell the story of what happened. She says, "The amount of incredibly moving stories of victims, rescuers, volunteers is simply shocking at the moment. I have been collecting newspapers of all the stories, and telling them in the form of comic strips. I hope these stories could show the UK readers the love, warmth and courage of the Chinese people, also the sad and cruel reality of the horrible 5.12 Earthquake."

Guess which one I was drawn to first?!









Parts 2 and 3 of this strip, as well as the rest of the Earthquake Strips.

PS: Scanning my photos continues later today.

Oh, thank you for posting the link to the full comic! I only saw the crying pandas on Jezebel yesterday, and it just about broke my heart. I'm glad to see the comic has a happy(ish) ending.

No problem! I had to find it--I mean, crying pandas? Way to hit me where I live, Jezebel.
