Michael Adam Lengyel writes stories that he wished were available when he was a child. As he didn't enjoy reading, he was attracted to manga and the stories they conveyed, and it was this medium that ignited his passion for storytelling.
When he was 12 years old, he started crafting his own stories, resulting in the creation of The Mannamong. This 2023 Eisner-nominated webcomic, now in print, invites 8-12-year-olds into a world where mythical spirits, born of Mother Nature, come to life.
A graduate of the prestigious Ringling College of Art and Design, class of 2015, Lengyel holds a B.A. in Business of Art and Design. Lengyel's work seamlessly blends artistic prowess with a business mindset, leaving an indelible mark on young readers with his enchanting narratives and vivid illustrations.
