Lotus Lantern is younger than the other three. The first Lotus Lantern cartoon appeared in 1999. Lotus Lantern is one of the few cartoon stories which have appeared in books since 1999.
Prince Nezha's Triumph Against Dragon King was created a little longer ago. Prince Nezha first appeared in comic books in 1979. In 1979, he appeared in daily newspapers. The Prince Nezha cartoon has been in over 100 different newspapers around the world.
