Re-invigorating stories through art, Sonny Liew worked in multiple small time comic shops before finding his voice through his publication of The Art of Charlie Chan Hock Chye. Documenting the tumultuous saga of the birth of the Singaporean nation, The Art of Charlie Chan Hock Chye became an overnight graphic novel sensation -- topping international book charts.
