LA Times Hero Complex talks to Danica Novgorodoff about her new graphic novel, THE UNDERTAKING OF LILY CHEN! There’s such an interesting mix of ancient and modern influences in contemporary China — skyscraping cranes next to 1,500-year-old temples, massive industrial projects built into sacred mountains and ancient traditions being practiced in the present. Everything from the politics to the infrastructure to the economy is so rapidly changing that there’s a lot of tension between the old and the new, which is fertile ground for storytelling. The characters in THE UNDERTAKING OF LILY CHEN must make important choices — do they obey the old, traditional laws or do they risk everything for the new?
