About the series
A short-lived but visually distinctive series from Sumitek, Taoland (1994–1996) was a five-issue creator-owned project written and illustrated by Jeff Y. Amano. Blending lush, detailed fantasy art with a self-contained story, the series stands as a singular vision from a creator who handled every aspect of the book. It remains a notable artifact of the mid-90s independent comics scene, where small publishers gave artists like Amano room to build entire worlds from scratch.
