Hong Kong Fairy Tales #[nn]

Larry Feign brings his sharp wit to this 1994 Hambalan Press collection, where a young woman relaxes in an armchair reading while a mischievous genie and a flying monkey materialize behind her, a Tin Man stands to one side, and three pigs in military attire mill about the foreground. The mashup of fairy tale and pop-culture figures — rendered entirely by Feign's own pencils and inks — hints at the satirical spin on classic stories that made his Hong Kong work so distinctive. A playful, inventive package for anyone who likes their bedtime stories with a knowing edge.
