The second collection of “Zen Pencils” comics, ZEN PENCILS,
VOLUME 2: DREAM THE IMPOSSIBLE DREAM
continues the same format as the first volume. Cartoonist Gavin Aung Than takes
quotes from all kinds of famous people and then uses those quotes as written
word for a series of different inspiring comics. Some of the people quoted in this volume
include Isaac Asimov, Maya Angelou, Robert Kennedy, William Shakespeare, Amy
Poehler, Jim Henson, and Kevin Smith. Some of the comics continue adventures
and stories from the first volume: the young boy who instead of playing sports
wants to be a great dancer, the young woman who wants to be a wrestler, the boy
who becomes a courageous knight, and the ancient philosopher. Some of the comics fit quite well with the
quotes that inspired the illustrations and story. Meanwhile, others just don’t
seem like a very good match. Overall, I enjoyed DREAM THE IMPOSSIBLE DREAM. I look
forward to other books of “Zen Pencils” in the future.
