Hi, I’m Michael Adam Lengyel, author-illustrator of The Mannamong—a fantasy graphic novel series created especially for kids ages 8 to 12.
Blending adventure, emotional depth, and manga-style visuals, I write stories that spark the imagination while gently exploring themes of inner strength, courage, and balance. With over a decade of storytelling experience and a Will Eisner nomination, I’m passionate about creating comics that help young readers connect with themselves and the world around them.

“My son reads all the time, and it’s hard to keep up with him. But when this book came in the mail, I handed it to him and didn’t hear from him till dinner. He’s eight and was reading at the table (a no-no in our house), so I told him to put it away until after. That’s when he informed me that it was his second time through and he was desperate for the second book! He read it one more time during his reading time before bed and has continued to return to it between other books. The next day, he brought it to school. I hope some of his friend’s parents buy it. It’s so worth it and I’ll be keeping an eye out for book 2!”
