It's not clear to me what you mean. What exactly is your question about Buddhism? A comic? Contemporary?

Are you trying to draw comics depicting stories from the Buddha's life or past lives? How would that be contemporary?

It wouldn't be about Buddha but it would touch on some Buddhist principles.  Think contemporary re-interpretation of Shakespeare.

# Good source of Buddha stories and what they mean

Try again.

I have an idea for a comic book I would like to attempt. It is based in a contemporary setting and sort of outlines the principles of buddhism without actually comingout and saying so.

What I am after is a good source of Buddha stories and what they mean. You know the sort of thing, Buddha said this or did that and what he was getting at.

I had a book by Suzuki once that was full of them but I am sure there is a website whith some somewhere.
