Zen lends itself very well to illustration in cartoon form, for Zen has a natural simplicity and a direct and down-to-earth approach to living that is at once refreshing and illuminating. Zen means to be free – absolutely – to be a human being, and this is possible only when self interest has ended and a person is one with the immensity of life. This selection of Zen Comics comics have been made with the kind permission of Asiapac Comics.
