The Art of Charlie Chan Hock Chye by Sonny Liew

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * From a bestselling graphic novelist comes "a hugely ambitious, stylistically acrobatic work" (The New York Times Book Review) that brings us on a uniquely moving, funny, and thought-provoking journey through the life of an artist and the history of a nation.

Meet Charlie Chan Hock Chye. Now in his early 70s, Chan has been making comics in his native Singapore since 1954, when he was a boy of 16. As he looks back on his career over five decades, we see his stories unfold before us in a dazzling array of art styles and forms, their development mirroring the evolution in the political and social landscape of his homeland and of the comic book medium itself. 

With The Art of Charlie Chan Hock Chye, Sonny Liew has drawn together a myriad of genres to create a thoroughly ingenious and engaging work, where the line between truth and construct may sometimes be blurred, but where the story told is always enthralling.

Sonny Liew is a Malaysian who now resides in Singapore. For a variety of comic and game publishers, he has worked on comics, computer games, and artwork. In the critically acclaimed Flight series, he was a featured illustrator.
