The Art of Charlie Chan Hock Chye

I prefer to see this as a history of comics through the lens of the history of Singapore, rather than the other way round, but perhaps only because I'm a lot more familiar with the history (and counter-histories?) of Singapore. But the book does both equally well. I particularly enjoyed the representation of historical figures as animals in a Sang Kancil tale and a night soil man as local superhero Roachman. Those who are interested in or familiar with Singapore and Malaya's history would enjoy the retelling of it in different graphic/comic forms.
