Growing up my grandmother had a collection of bedtime stories illustrated by Eric Kincaid. The art for this comic reminded me a lot of Kincaid's work. (3/3)

Photo of the book "The Magic Fish" by Trung Le Nguyen
Photos of comic panels. A young character in glasses has tears in his eyes. In a word balloon are the words "I just... I feel like everybody's problems are so much bigger than mine." In the last panel, a second child hugs the first one.
Photo of a graphic novel page. Two female dancers from "Swan Lake" are kissing. Fabric swirls around them.
A cracked spine means the book is LOVED.
"The Magic Fish" by Trung Le Nguyen is heart-stoppingly gorgeous, kind, and full of gay fairy tales ❤️🌈❤️

Has anyone else read The Magic Fish? It is written and illustrated by Trung Le Nguyen and was a fascinating mix of the past, present and fairytales. I felt inspired to draw a #selfportrait in his style. Give it a read!

Doing a happy snoopy dance to find another author I enjoy on bluesky. Recommending #TheMagicFish to my students. @trungles.bsky.social
