Abstract: 
"The comic book series 'Saga' establishes a powerful correlation between accurate representation of cultural diversity and heightened social awareness within the realm of storytelling and fiction. An analysis of 'Saga'’s culturally diverse universe explores how the series showcases diversity and raises social and cultural awareness to the medium through a visual and narrative study. In order to establish parameters that visual storytellers must consider to craft stories that are honest representations of cultural diversity through the conceptualization of the art, narrative and language employed."
