The Three-Body Problem graphic novel a hit at Frankfurt fair
The graphic novel adaptation of The Three-Body Problem created by artist Wu Qingsong combines traditional Chinese painting with a modern touch to vividly depict the grand world of the sci-fi story, says Zhang Yu, chief editor of Yilin Press under the Phoenix Publishing and Media Group. Zhang was speaking during an international copyright promotion event for the adaptation at the 76th Frankfurt Book Fair that closed on Oct 20.
The graphic novel showcases the charm of Chinese traditional culture and is an innovative way to tell Chinese stories, Zhang says.
As the first work from Asia to win the Hugo Award for Best Novel, The Three-Body Problem by Liu Cixin has been translated into more than 35 languages and sold in excess of 4 million copies overseas.
