Here’s a treat from Tokyopop to ease the transition back from the long weekend: A 21-page preview of Orange, the first of a planned series of full-color graphic novels from around the world. Orange was originally published in China, and the creator is Benjamin, a Chinese artist who makes digital media look amazingly like real paint.

You can read more about Benjamin here, on Paul Gravett’s site, and get more information on Orange from Tokyopop’s catalog page.
