For those who work in the comics industry, there is no bigger accolade than winning a Will Eisner Comic Industry Award. Presented annually at Comic-Con International (popularly known as the San Diego Comic-Con), the Eisners, as they are known, are the comics industry’s equivalent of the Oscars and the Grammys.

While Western comics usually dominate the Eisners, this year’s awards, given out last week, gave Asian comics fans and creators something to cheer about when Malaysia-born, Singapore-based comics creator Sonny Liew won three Eisners for The Art Of Charlie Chan Hock Chye (Charlie Chan).
