One cannot learn to practice yoga per se from this kind of comics narratives like Alan Moore ‘s original Watchmen, but one could use such a story to create a meditational mandala.

…the hymns in the ninth mandala are arranged by both their prosody structure (chanda) and by their length…

All three novels use the cut-up technique that Burroughs invented in cooperation with painter and poet Brion Gysin and computer programmer Ian Sommerville. Commenting on the trilogy in an interview, Burroughs said that he was “attempting to create a new mythology for the space age”.

…in 1988, a group of independent comic writers and artists drafted a “Creator’s Bill of Rights,” designed to help protect their ownership over material they created, and to avoid being exploited financially by publishers. Unlike most other fiction writing, comics are generally written as work-for-hire—meaning the publishers, not the authors, own the content, and can do with it what they wish.
Moore was one of the writers leading the charge against work-for-hire practices in the 1980s. Considering how much Hollywood today still runs on appropriating the work of others (Quartz member exclusive)—comic book writers and artists specifically—the Creator’s Bill of Rights probably hasn’t had the effect its signers intended…
