Three-time 2017 Eisner Awards Winner Sonny Liew will be heading to Kinokuniya Singapore Main Store on Saturday, 5th August, 2pm, hot from his return from the 2017 Comic Convention International: San Diego, where he emerged as the first Singaporean to win the prestigious award for Best Writer/Artist, Best Publication Design and Best U.S. Edition of International Material – Asia.
The Art of Charlie Chan Hock Chye is a biography showcasing the life and work of Chan Hock Chye, a pioneering but largely forgotten comics artist in Singapore. With a career spanning more than five decades, from pre-independent Singapore through its three Prime Ministers, Chan’s work reflects the changing political and economic environment in Singapore.
Containing Chan’s original illustrations, paintings and sketches, this is a groundbreaking work and labour of love aimed at recapturing the portrait of an artist, whose deep passion for comics and country is given a fitting tribute by award-winning comics artist Sonny Liew.
