The Art of Charlie Chan Hock Chye was released this week internationally!
The always amazing Robb Mommaerts did a pinup (see above!), do visit his blog to see more fantastic artwork :)
Some early reviews:
- The Beat says that The Art of Charlie Chan is "2016’s first superlative graphic novel"
- Mental Floss lists the books as one of "5 Most Interesting Comics of the Week" and "a tour de force artistic performance"
- The Gazette calls it "easily one of the greatest books of the year... [A] multilayered, beautifully executed work is like no history book you’ve ever seen. It will leave you speechless."
- There are features on the book at Pen America and CBLDF
- Over at NPR, a review says "The Art of Charlie Chan Hock Chye feels like Singapore between two covers. The pressure-cooker country — tiny and polyglot, globally competitive and politically repressive — seems to have been poured into this dense book"
- On Instagram, The Beguiling says : "With this book, #SonnyLiew establishes himself as a major voice in comics"
- The BookPage calls it "transcendent graphic novel" that reveals "the ability of comics to blur the lines between fact and fiction, and to transport readers between eras and cultures."
