In 1970s Hong Kong, a mischievous and clever cat-masked boy ventures into the lawless Kowloon Walled City to retrieve his lost report card before his mum finds out.

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 mum calls him home for dinner? Or will he be lost in the dangerous maze of Kowloon forever?

Cat Mask Boy is a kinetic journey into another time, full of cultural flavour, warm-hearted humour, and nostalgic urban realism. This thrilling coming-of-age graphic novel explores themes of friendship, self-discovery, and growing up with a touch of retro whimsy.

About the Author

LINUS LIU is an independent comic artist born in the last century. He is deeply fond of old Hong Kong, the city where he grew up. He has been drawing and creating for years, participating in projects that involve sketching, comics, animation, digital art, and more. His creative inspiration comes from daily life and his wild imagination. His publications include Cat Mask Boy, the illustration collection SHE and SHE REMEMBERS, the animated short Cat Mask Boy's Summer Holiday, and the comics "Timeless Encounter," which he co-created with Hong Kong Machines. He is also serializing a 4-panel daily comic strip called Gold Fish Cat. While researching for Cat Mask Boy, he experienced a sense of nostalgia, as if he had returned to those bygone days.
