Kammys Musing

• In 1993 while in high school, I was introduced to Chinese/Hong Kong comics.
• These comics weren’t only translated to Malay language, but also went through the Malaysian prints censorship board.
• Any compromising part (ahem) in the comics would be blurred out or just scratched out to make it less obvious.
• Majority of these comics themes were based on Chinese martial arts + history + super
• It costs MYR1.20 (approx AUD0.40) per comic back then.

• There were shops that rents them out, I think about 20cents per comic. So a few of us would rent a few comics each, sat at the same table and swap reading comics.
• Personally, no matter how cool or light the subject matter is, especially as they are just comics, there was only a certain amount of comics I could read in one sitting.
• Past a certain number of comics, my brain starts getting fried. Not a pleasant experience.
• Maybe it’s just me. I wasn’t a studious person back then.
• I wonder if they sell/make a digital version of it. Would be nice to get hold of a physical copy and sit around the table like old times.

Until then, stay hungry, stay sane.
