Introduction

The creator of the Old Master Q is Wong Chak (Alphonso Wong), originally named Wong Kar-hei. In the early 1960s, WONG Kar-hei used his eldest sons name to create the Old Master Q comics and the rest is history. In 1964, the first Tankobon booklet version of the comic Old Master Q and Mr. Chun was published by the Ng Hing Kee and immediately became an instant hit because of its humour and brevity in text.
The architect comics artist Wong Chak (Joseph Wong) has taken up the baton from his father in 1995, endeavouring to present the Old Master Q as a living icon of Chinese culture, combining contemporary art, design and developing in multi and digital platforms with cross sector industries, endue the new style and value of culture, in order to publicise this significant Chinese cultural heritage all over the world.

Old Master Q described Hong Kong in its different phases of development, trends and technological advances. It encompasses the merging of the Chinese culture with the west while safeguarding the traditional Chinese values in the process and hence also becomes the collective memories of Chinese people whether in Hong Kong or oversea.
The almighty Old Master Q is praised by the readers as the
"Chinese Superman". In the comics, there is an abundance of characters as well as emotions from the quick-witted, shrew and sharp Old Master Q, the kind-hearted Big Potato, the forward-looking Mr. Chun, the glamourous girlfriend of Old Master Q, Miss Chan, the Old Ziu who is always ready to take on the Old Master Q, and also the pets, friends and even aliens which would make the readers smile from the bottom of their hearts.
