Cartoonist breathes life into history

Labour of love: Azrin has devoted recent years to illustrating comics based on the national History textbooks for upper secondary students.

DURING his boarding school days at Maktab Rendah Sains Mara (MRSM) Kuantan in Pahang, Azrin Ahmad developed a passion for drawing cartoons.

His artwork captivated many of his schoolmates, especially after he created a cartoon series featuring a hero named Jaafar, also known as Jeff, who owned a pair of special boots that transformed him into a star football player.
