AbstractMr. David Ki Man-kit, general manager of Jade Dynasty, thinks that in the future the Hong Kong market will be part of the huge Chinese comic market. He predicted that after the transition of authority in 1997, the Chinese government would not exert much control over Hong Kong comic publications. The copyrights of the majority of Japanese publications are valid until 30 June 1997. Local publication companies would become vulnerable if they completely rely on the revenue from the sales of those Japanese comics. Developing high quality local comics is the only way out. This article introduces two local comic writers, Suet-chin and Joel Chu whose famous comics are First Love, Second Chance and I Don't Want to Live Alone respectively.
