Crossover Picture Books

@DeepBlueX0

Chinese picture books from the 1990s become a playground for mashups across time and worlds: past × present, East × West, mythology × literature × film and television. Mix subjects that could never share a universe, then bring them together on yellowed paper with the printed texture of vintage pocket comics.
