About the series
From 1998 to 2008, Shanda Fantasy Arts published Shanda the Panda, a 29-issue comic series most frequently written by Mike Curtis and Jon Crusoe, with art by Heather Maranda, Carla Speed McNeil, and Michelle Light. The series follows the gentle, anthropomorphic panda Shanda through whimsical adventures that blend slice-of-life charm with light fantasy, often exploring themes of friendship and nature. Its significance lies in its all-female core creative team and its place as a distinctive, creator-driven title in the late-90s independent comics landscape.
