(Central News Agency reporter Su Mu-Chun, Taichung, May 13) The National Taiwan Comic Museum Preparatory Office is holding the "Sunday Comics Dream" special exhibition from now until October 11, focusing on the "Sunday Comics" weekly, which debuted in 1989. The exhibition reviews numerous serialized works, exhibits original manuscripts, and recreates scenes, bringing back the glorious memories of Taiwanese comics in the 1990s.
The special exhibition invited veteran comic editor and recipient of the 16th Golden Comic Award Special Contribution Award, Huang Jian-He, to serve as curator. Centered on the "Sunday Comics" weekly, which was founded in 1989, it leads the audience back to the era when Taiwanese comics moved from local to global, through the display of original manuscripts, recreation of 90s scenes, a timeline of world comic events, and records of international exchanges.
The opening ceremony was held today, attended by Deng Mei-Rong, Director of the Department of Humanities and Publications of the Ministry of Culture; Tsai Ying-Ming, Acting Director of the National Taiwan Comic Museum Preparatory Office; Huang Jian-He; Legislator Tsai Chun-Chou of the Taiwan People's Party; and veteran publisher Hao Ming-Yi, among others.
Tsai Ying-Ming pointed out that "Sunday Comics" is not only a youthful memory for many readers but also an important landmark for the awakening of Taiwanese comic identity. This exhibition recreates the glorious memories of Taiwanese comics in the 1990s, showcasing the peak energy of cross-disciplinary collaboration led by Hao Ming-Yi, in partnership with creators such as Zheng Wen, Zeng Zheng-Zhong, Mai Ren-Jie, Ren Zheng-Hua, Jerry Kid, and Lin Zheng-De.
Huang Jian-He stated that 1989 was a year of global turmoil and full of social energy in Taiwan. Against this backdrop, "Sunday Comics" was co-founded by Hao Ming-Yi, then general manager of Cite Publishing; film director Yang De-Chang; comic editor Gao Chong-Li; and a group of comic artists.
Huang Jian-He mentioned that this was not just a magazine; it was a bold experiment initiated by a group of comic lovers to see if Taiwanese comics could establish a commercial weekly serialization model and connect with the international community. Through this exhibition, he hopes to show everyone the passionate questioning of "what is comics?" by creators of that era, and to draw nourishment from these precious cultural assets to find new possibilities for the diverse development of contemporary Taiwanese comics.
The organizers explained that the "Sunday Comics Dream" special exhibition is being held from now until October 11 in Exhibition Halls 01 to 03 of the National Comic Museum's East Campus. It reviews many contemporary serialized works, exhibits physical original manuscripts, and recreates the comic rental stores, classrooms, and editorial departments of that time, tracing the footsteps of Taiwanese comics connecting with the international world through a timeline.
