Maui Comic

Maui must overcome his full-grown, hulk-like Uncles at the mature age of six all while keeping to his daily chores of rat shooting – can you imagine what he’s doing to that cave – and annoying his kapa-beating mother Hina. Can this six-year-old Maui live up to his name? Find out in Maui and his Murderous Guests.

What you have all been waiting for! An ancient Hawai‘i myth told through the bright colored-pages of a comic book. This five-page Maui Comic tells the fairly unknown story of Mauiakamalo as it appears in the Kumulipo: Hawaiian Creation Chant and immerses you in a deeper Hawai‘i. Many know Maui for his later exploits of stealing the secret of fire, slowing the sun and pulling the islands from the sea, but what of his beginnings? Where did he start? You are in the unique position to find out and go deeper into Hawai‘i’s myths.

If your spunky keiki love to learn Hawai‘i myths and legends, but can’t pay attention past the first two sentences of a book, this fun Maui comic, beautifully illustrated by a Native Hawaiian comic book artist is sure to grab and keep their attention. After all, who doesn’t love comics?
