Chan Mau Mau

[[[Image:F 30596 1.jpg |frame|陈某 Chan Mau Mau ]] 陈某 Chan Mau Mau was born in March 1st, 1970 in Hong Kong. His first comic ever self-written and self-produced Not Human 《不是人》, also based on the Three Kingdoms Period and released in 1996, had won him numerous awards and recognitions.

His pen name 陈某, means just an ordinary person with a last name of Chan, reveals his modesty and determination setting him apart from the mainstream. Before his comic career, he was a graphic designer in the commercial advertising industry.

In the first volume of The Ravages of time, he described his lack of interest in the current popular comic market. However his own passion toward this action pictures had motivated him to create his own comic.

As a child, Chan Mau Mau was into sci-fi, cartoon, and ultraman. He was majoring in visual art in a University. After his graduation, he got a job working as a graphic designer in the advertising field. He had experience with print ads in TV and newspaper and been involved with the top management.

Simply assigning works to his subordinates couldn’t satisfy his ambition, and eventually aroused him to create his first independent work- Not Human 《不是人》 and applied to competitions. Most of the topics he uses in his works are history related with fables and fairy tales. A reporter once asked Chan Mau Mau about history vs. fable. He claimed that the true history does not exist. Believing into the inevitable idea of history is artificial; whoever conquers the country writes the history. Gathering all the fables and novels with history books might exceeds the credibility of any official history books.
