Inhaltsangabe

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 mom finds out.

Tiger is a seven year old boy, growing up in 1970’s 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 streetcorners of the Walled City to recover the document.

Can Tiger and his streetwise new friend Dragon find his report card before his mom 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 flavor, warm-hearted humor, 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.
