Obsession? Collection? II

Sunday, February 01, 2009

Blame my big brother for dragging me into this obssession towards the world of Comic books and Mangas...
At the age of 7, as soon as I could read, I started reading my Bro's Dragon Ball collection...
Being a child, of course I would be fascinated by the death blow of Kamehameha and the stages of Super Saiya transformations...

Then, my bro shifted his interest from Dragon Ball to Hong Kong comics (translated into Bahasa Malaysia of course) and so I was introduced to the world of over-exaggerated kung fu and Chinese martial arts... Not to mention also the great legends of Chinese war warriors such as Liu Bei...
The Bahasa Malaysia translations amuse me though... If you are familiar with the comics, u will notice they put so many 'peribahasa' in it... Among them are "Kalau Tiada Rotan, Akar Pun Berguna" and "Kalau Tidak dipecahKan Ruyung, Manakan DapAT Sagunya"...

Now, eventhough I've reached to age of 21, my interest towards comic books still continues... I grew up with comic books and my current mind is filled with various pictures and colors that enlighten my imagination...

It makes me feel free...
Comic books are like my cigarettes...
I'm addicted to it...

I really admire all of the great artists who worked their ass out to create masterpieces such as Bleach, One Piece and Naruto...

I know many out there are considering comic books as worthless trash because they thought it is just for kids...

But if they know how much effort has been put into making just one of them, I 'm sure they would appreciate it more...

If u want to know about how serious the world of manga is, u can start reading the manga 'Bakuman' : here
