A Chinese graphic novelist determined to keep the aftermath of last month's earthquake on the front burner is using her new blog to get the message out, and fellow citizen journalists on the other side of the world are catching on. "We love you, Coco Wang," a blogger at New York-based Jezebel writes to the Beijing-based artist.

"I can't just sit at home and do nothing," Wang wrote in her introductory post. "I have been crying my eyes out." Click the link below to see Wang's "Earthquake Strips." (More Coco Wang stories.)
