The Gardenergala comic strips appeared mostly in the Hong Kong fashion and street culture magazine East Touch. The comics had very little text, if there was it was in Chinese. A few English words popped up every now and then.

When Michael became well known in Japan he did a series of short black and white gag-comic strips featuring the Gardeners, the text in these strips was Japanese. Thumbnail versions of his comics are posted here for you to see.

The material in the series was usually humorous, sometimes serious, but mostly universal. Many of the panels didn't even need text to be understood as Michael is a good visual storyteller.

In the series we learned to cheer on Maxx as he tries to become something bigger than himself. Sometimes we laughed as the other Gardeners got themselves in all sorts of funny situations.

Take Prodig from the Japanese series to the right. He wants to get a kick-ass Godzilla tattoo on his left shoulder, however despite the pain of getting a tattoo the end result is not as imposing...

Much thanks to juuan for the images.
