# Super Heroic Papercrafts Brian Chan Expands His Collection to Include Comic Hero Origami By Jason Soy | Published 2011-05-19 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comic-hero-origami References: [likecool](http://www.likecool.com/Brian_Chans_Origami--DIY--Gear.html) & [web.mit.edu](http://web.mit.edu/chosetec/www/origami/) Brian Chan's been featured on Trend Hunter before, and you can definitely see why with this comic hero origami collection. Not only did Chan craft some intricately detailed paper masterpieces, but he also took the time to frame each picture of his work in a way that mimics [famous book and movie covers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sen-donnan) of the respective heroes. What I enjoy most about this collection of memorable [paper heroes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reflector-sculpture) is that it covers comic books from all genres and regions of the world. When was the last time you saw someone fold an Alan Moore character into an origami work of art? And I haven't heard anyone mention Vash the Stampede in the longest time. Kudos, Chan. Kudos.
