Beano and Dandy weren’t the only comic books enjoyed by kids back in the day – there were also Chinese comics that were read by the young and old.

the palm-sized comic books were slightly more than 1cm thick and the pictures were in black and white then. we would pay 5 or 10 cents and sat on the spot to enjoy the pictures in the story or the story with the pictures, depending on your ability to read chinese characters. for me, it was more pictures than chinese characters.
