The Art of Charlie Chan Hock Chye
“One of the most visually arresting and thematically remarkable books published this year... A landmark work in Singapore comics history.
– Akshita Nanda, The Straits Times

“[A] superlative achievement.... As Chye’s life is revealed, so is the history of Singapore, a tumultuous sweep that is mirrored in the history of cartooning. Make no mistake: this multilayered book is a masterpiece.”
—Publishers Weekly, *starred review*

"Sonny Liew is a major talent, both as an artist and a storyteller"
- Tommy Koh, Founding Chairman, National Arts Council
