Featuring both established as well as new creators, Liquid City is a visual treat presenting a variety of styles and genres. If you manage to peel yourself from returning cover artist Shelly Wan's painted cover and flip the pages to a buffet offering of good to great comic strips ranging from Miel's "Signs" to Dave Chua and Koh Hong Teng's "Paper City" to Lefty's "The Way Back" to Troy Chin's "Delays". Malaysian legend Lat contributes a new strip about football game in Malaysia. Co-editor Sonny Liew himself contributes a very Singaporean "The Hunt for Mas Selamat" (with a bogus, in-his-dreams football scoreline).
The spotlight wasn't merely on Liquid City Vol.2, with appearances by local artists Ye Zhen and Otto Fong who spoke about their recent comics work.
Don't worry if you missed the book launch at Kinokuniya earlier today, there will be another book launch event next week (6 November 2010, 2pm) at {prologue}, Ion Orchard.
Be sure to check out Dave Chua and Koh Hong Teng's "Gone Case: The Graphic Novel" slated to launch later this year at STGCC 2010
