【Book Launch Event】Asian Documentary ComicsHong Kong Arts Centre (Comix Home Base), Slowork Publishing Limited

Documentary comics, named ‘documentaries on Paper’, are created based on non-fictional stories. Different from usual narrative forms of conventional comics, documentary comics are highly experimental and rich in content on both texts and pictorial composition. Creators have spent excessively long time collating information and interviews, depicting real stories which are rarely noticed and exploring different social issues and voices in depth.

Hong Kong Arts Centre (Comix Home Base) collaborates with Slowork Publishing Limited in introducing a variety of documentary comics created on different themes and in different styles to Hong Kong audience and readers. Slowork Publishing always carefully selects papers and ink for comic books and prints them exquisitely. Every physical comic book is superbly produced with details and has high collection values, giving readers a unique experience.

【Book Launch Event】showcases originals and comics production processes from two Taiwanese comics artists 61Chi and Yao-ching Tseng. Meanwhile, there will be a trial reading corner with various documentary comic books. Do not miss anything out if you are a fan of comics, delicate printing products or reading!
