小流氓: HK Comic in 60s

"小流氓" Little Rascals (later re-titled Oriental Heroes) is the first comic I read. It was very famous in 60s, created by Tony Wong ( Wong Yuk Long). Tony Wong created a very unique character look and become an icon of HK comic. For his contribution and influencing a generation of artists in the local industry, he is regarded as the "Godfather of Hong Kong comics" It inspired me a lot. See more his work and bios here.
