'''Chibi Chibi Lain: The Empire Strikes Back'''  (ちびちびレイン　帝国の逆襲）is a series of 6 humorous 4-panel comic strips by [[Yoshitoshi ABe]]. They feature a chibified [[Lain Iwakura]] in ridiculous situations. Five of the strips were originally included in the liner of the LaserDisc and VHS releases of the Serial Experiments Lain [[Serial Experiments Lain (anime)|anime]]. The second strip was not included, mentioned as a "deleted scene" in the third. However, all six strips are published in the original [[Omnipresence in Wired]] artbook.

The artist Gomennasai has written some similar comic strips which may have been inspired by ABe's ''Chibi Chibi Lain''. Refer to [[Fanworks]].

The five strips are published in the original Restore booklets packaged with Geneon Universal's 2010 Japanese release of Serial Experiments Lain Blu-ray BOX|RESTORE. Also included in the RESTORE booklet were two entirely new chibi chibi lain strips in color. They can be viewed [http://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/1934958 here.]

A Sales Promo Ad By Dame-Dame Lain," which was first published in a doujinshi by doujin circle Mutekei Fire and later included in ''Omnipresence''.
