Haha.

I remember xanseviera saying about having a beef with the crew way back.

Are there still any Malay artists in Gempak's lineup. I abandoned Gempak's publications almost a decade ago due to rumors about racism against Malay artists.

As for the artists being arrogant, maybe not. Maybe they are just anti-social loner type. Most artists are misunderstood geniuses. /sangkabaik

She was, like, a hardcore Japanophile. lol

i just only gempak for the info and manga and anime

i dont read the comics

the purists inside of me cannot accept meleis or chinese drawing jap-style manga

anyway, ini sia-sia, perkara lagha, insapla ohwaii

You are joking, right?

I always wanted to see manga styled comics that depicts our own social lives. Instead, what we get in Gempak are watered down imitations of the Japanese settings, with authors shamelessly naming the characters in Japanese and mimicking typical Japanese school life. If i want a Japanese setting, i would read Japanese manga.

Some attempts to relate more to Malaysian kids' life did pass, but the artists that managed to do this often disappear after 3-4 mags. I suspect that something wrong happened between them and Gempak's editor, which i know had some dirt on his own.

Ujang used to have a few manga-styled artists, but they often got stamped out by Gayour,,who claim that the style is 'not Malaysian' Ironic since Ujang's and Gila-Gila's styles were heavily influenced by the US-made MAD magazines. Then again, these morons didnt learn history.

For me, art styles are nice, but its the CONTENT that matter. I always wanted a manga that I can relate with as a secondary school student IN MALAYSIA, not some foreign setting like Japan, from our own manga style artists, but people think of me as weird.

In my opinion, manga style artists can sell more books if their storyline and settings are more relatable to the Malaysian crowd.

Of course, i tried doing it myself, but i lacked the skill so i could never make it happen.

mah fren said the company still alive la weh...
only kilang percetakan yang tutup...
company still running as usual.

probably they change direction to e-book?

I really hate e-book. As if we don't spend enough time on electronic gadgets.

I know there are many advantages about e-book, but I still prefer flipping physical book page by page.

for me i dun really care...its not really different with read manga online lol....

golek golek atas katil. baca buku dragonball sambil cecah biskut + milo.

comics house je kot .. bukanye creator bungkus

So true

It's time this gen finally grow up. Better late than never I guess.

hentai?

kebodohan apakah ini??...

How old are you??.... brainwash by heundal wave?..

The right thing is:
Manga = Japan comic
Manhwa = Korean comic
and Manhua = Chinese comic produced in mainland china, Hong kong and taiwan[SIZE=7]

Nobody care about Manwha since ppl only interested with k-pop things..

"Manhua" word has been used since 18th century for chinese literati painting and even the word of "MANGA" is actually refer to manhua when japanese bring back the comics to japan together with kung fu (later change to karate)..

Gayour? His own doodling is rip off from one of the Mad artist

Damn ironic, aint it?

That fucker became lead editor at Ujang for a while. He chased away many young artists with styles foreign to him, while those that he did gave a chance never stayed more than 2-3 releases(im guessing because he harrassed them by forcing them to redo the artworks in the way that makes sense for his own narrow tastes).

Aie manged to make Blues Untuk Aku get printed because he appealed directly to Md Othman Yassin, their big boss at the time. Lo and behold, BUA became a legendary series.

I know that xanseviera damn lansi 1. Her manga style ok but storyline damn copy cat. One time she tried imitate story line from Supernatural series. Almost puked

She was chronically obsessed about Supernatural, her deviantart page were filled with artworks and GIFs of the series. Perhaps the copycat thing... its just a case of imitation as flattery.

Never quite a fan of her stuff though, and i ceased contact with her nearly a decade ago after i abandoned DeviantArt so i dont know what the hell happened to her now.

Glanced through a copy of gempak last week at 7-11, her artwork is still there. Feels kinda lame though

U Macam ada story

Story la sikit

Agreed

I read mana online now

But I still hate the need to zoom to look into the details

With physical paper. U can just bring it closer to ur eyes

When it's digital

Need to zoom in. Then other stuff went out of frame

The to zoom out. Zoom in again

Its really annoying

Reagardles how tech has advance

Physical book. Especially with drawings, are still the best

Hmm.. cant comment further until i read her latest works.

…chances are, though, i probably still wont like it now.
