About ONLY (26 pages, 7 x 10 inches, 4-color riso, ISBN 9781951078072): “In Diane Zhou’s brilliant riso comic, the last Asian girl left on earth searches and yearns for her missing kin, and comes to a crossroads. Zhou’s delirious and piercing visual storytelling evokes cultural memories that teeter between the familiar and the surreal, the hilarious and the heart breaking.”
“[Zhou] goes above and beyond with ambitious page layouts on top of her dazzling use of color.” – The Comics Journal
Diane Zhou lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. She is a painter and comic artist who revels in the “inauthentic” space of Diasporic Chinese/American culture using cuteness, disgust, and broken language.
