Tiger is a seven-year-old boy, growing up in 1970s Hong Kong. He prefers being clever to working hard, gets terrible grades in school, and dreams of being a superhero. One day, his world is turned upside down when his report card somehow ends up in one of the most dangerous areas of Hong Kong: Kowloon City! Armed only with his homemade cat mask and determination in his heart, Tiger must dive into the twisting chaos and shadowy street corners of the Walled City to recover the document.
Can Tiger and his streetwise new friend Dragon find his report card before his mom calls him home for dinner? Or will he be lost in the dangerous maze of Kowloon forever?
“Cat Mask Boy is my first comic book and is so meaningful to me,” said creator Linus Liu. “I’m so grateful and lucky to connect with and gain recognition from local and overseas readers. Thank you so much to Nakama Press for publishing it in English, which lets Cat Mask Boy reach more readers and lets them understand more about Hong Kong culture.”
