5 comics that are made in Malaysia

Jejon Di Jepun is about a Malaysian girl who is living in Japan for the first time.

It is not easy being a comic book artist/writer, more so in Malaysia. Just try counting with both hands just how many local comic-book artists have made it big abroad and chances are you will have some unused fingers. While the Internet has broken down geographical boundaries, there are still other challenges that linger.

Last month, I had the opportunity to chat with Alan Quah, who in my humble opinion is one of Malaysia’s best comic-book artists. Having followed his career progression for almost a decade, I have seen his style evolve, heard the challenges he faced, and most importantly, seen his vision for the future.
