A friend who grew up reading comics in childhood came over here, and there was another wave of "memory killing".
The story began during the epidemic. ToFi, who had not left home for many days, finally got tired of playing with her phone. She began to look around on her bookshelf. Suddenly, in that inconspicuous corner, she found this batch of long-sealed memories.
Some comic books at ToFi's home
In fact, in that era when smart phones were not popular, that is, in the middle and high school years of post-90s, the mainstream entertainment content was still novels and comics. As an avid comic lover at that time, my dream when I grew up was to become a cartoonist (now that I have become an editor who occasionally draws, so it’s a bit like a little bit).
In today's era, everyone's entertainment method is to stare at the glowing colorful screens and watch TV shows and play games. I wonder if anyone else goes to the newspaper booth or bookstore to buy a few thick books home. What is certain is that paper readings are now becoming less and less present.
However, in my opinion, the existence of novels and comics still occupies the mainstream of cultural and entertainment, which is a different model: they are being adapted into film and television dramas in large numbers. For example, the recently popular Korean drama "Itaewon class" is adapted from a manga of the same name.
ToFi wants to talk about the once popular Chinese comics from the perspective of a young reader, as well as their father and mother - Treasure Cartoonists!
The starting point of girls' throbbing
——Girl comic
"Zibuyu"
Author: Xiada (Weibo@Xiada)
Serialized magazine: "Anime Friends·Cute 100"
knowing that Xiada should have many friends, and she is also the White Moonlight Cartoonist in my heart. Xia Da's work "Zi Buyu" started serializing in 2009 tells the story of a 9-year-old girl Xiaoyu using her unique abilities to deal with monsters while growing up. Because of its exquisite painting style and moving stories, this comic was later called "the most beautiful comic in China" by Japanese readers.
It is hard to imagine how many wonderful ideas are bursting in Xia Da's little head. In that period when various tools and software were not very developed, cartoonists were still using manuscript paper and dot paper. I don’t know how many sleepless nights are exchanged for such beautiful pictures and stories outside of dreams.
"minor minor"
Author: Kexin (Weibo@Kexin MINOR)
serialized magazine: "Manga Friends·Comics 100"
If you want to talk about the representative figures of the girl comics in my heart, it must be Kexin. Her works are delicate and warm. In the hearts of children who were not yet adults, the story that happened in "Minor Minor" seems to be around us, and the characters are like our friends. Because it is a long serial, the pace of the story is not fast, so its storyboards and stories enter the hearts of readers like slowly flowing water, and also accompany the growth of some readers.
I still remember that the protagonist of this comic is a little mixed-race boy named Han Xu . The story revolves around him and several of his friends (all fifth-grade primary school students). There is no grand background, but the connection between each story is deeply rooted in people's hearts. This may be the essence of the girl's comics.
"Stealing Stars September Day"
Author: Zhou Hongbin (Weibo@Zhou Hongbin), Fan Xiaosong (Weibo@Xiaosongcomic)
serialized magazine: "Zhiyin Manke"
It can be said that "Stealing Stars September Day" was popular among students at that time as the current popular drama.With the background of the superficial world, the characters in it are extremely pleasing to the eye, and the plot development is ups and downs, which makes people want to keep chasing! It is normal to have so many "fans"!
All the characters in this work are first-class cool, the heroine September is even more cool, and the pink slanted bangs are also classic, which can be said to be a perfect 2D icon.
"Delicious Season"
Author: BUDDY (Weibo@一一一)
Serialized Magazine: "Anime Friends·Animation 100"
Theme comics with chefs are rare. The one that combines food and girl comics so well is considered "Delicious Season". I personally like BUDDY's style, including the character design, outfit and atmosphere inside, all have a comfortable feeling of the autumn wind blowing on my face.
This comic can also see the author BUDDY's love for life. Whether it is the meticulousness of the recipe or the characters' daily dressing style, it has been carefully studied. I still remember that the hero loves to wear Vivienne Westwood's jewelry. It is such small details that make the entire comic story three-dimensional, and it feels like it is absolutely beautiful to remake it into a film and television drama.
♂ is more passionate than passion, and more boiling than noisy
—Boys comics
"Boys Wrench"
Author: Yu Yanshu (Weibo@Heavy Industry Team Leader Yu Yanshu)
Serialized magazine: "Manga Friends·Young Super"/"Science Fiction Pictorial·Comic SHOW"
I really don't know how to express my love for my uncle, because his comics are so beautiful. Because "The Wrench Boy" got into the trap of the boy's comics, from then on, in addition to the delicate stories of the girl, the growth of the passionate boy also touched my heart. Just like the journey of Su Ya, the protagonist of "The Wrench Boy".
The characteristics of boy comics are its huge value system and grand pattern, which makes me feel that every mature boy comic is like a big movie, because the author is like a director, giving this story the most precious soul.
Author: Wang Xiaoyang (Weibo@Wang Xiaopanda@Wang Xiaoyang Manga)
Serialized magazine: "Anime Friends·Young Super"/"Science Fiction Pictorial·Comic SHOW"
� "Jiang" can be said to be the No.1 in my mind. This comic is centered on chess and tells the battle between 16 Earth superpowers and 16 chess characters. Everyone here is a pawn, and only by defeating the opponent's general/coach can you win.
4.9x4.9
Author: Bai Xiao (Weibo@Bai Xiao)
Serialized magazine: "Anime Friends·Youth Super"/"Science Fiction Pictorial·Comic SHOW"
4.9x4.9 4.9x4.9 4.9x4.9 � This is a standard passionate campus boy comic. The author Bai Xiao has very solid painting skills, so the scene and character grasp are very good.
hilarious short story, source of happiness
—Four grids/Double grids
号 号 号
Author: Ao Youxiang (Weibo@Taiwan Ao Youxiang)
I know that "Oo Long Garden" can no longer divide it into a narrow category such as short stories or four grids.As the representative work of "Chinese comic god" Ao Youxiang, the Wulong Academy series not only produces four-frame comics, short comics, but also multiple long series. Later, it was remade into an animation, which has become a classic among classics.
As an enlightenment book for many comic readers, the images of the four masters and apprentices in "Wulongyuan" should be the most classic: a master with high martial arts skills; a fat master who is gentle as a mother; a senior brother who only grows muscles but not brains; a clever junior brother. Now, it has been almost 40 years since "Oulongyuan" was born, and now it can be regarded as a full childhood memory when you relive it.
"Hidden Campus"
Author: Zhu Bin (Weibo@Hidden Campus_Zhu Bin)
The classic work of short comics, the protagonist is a silly boy who has four teeth exposed all year round, named "Daitou". Because of the relaxed, interesting and brain-wrenching story, "Hidden Campus" is extremely popular among children, and now it has its own book in major bookstores.
My favorite Top3
BLOODLINE
Author: Aiou (Weibo@Aiou Sparta)
Serialized magazine: "Comic World"
The world view of the works of the master science fiction master Aiou is so shocking! I love vampire themes very much. I love this comic so much. I remember that when I opened "Comic World" every day, the first thing I wanted to find out which page "BLOODLINE" was on.
Black and White Invincible
Author: Yu Yanshu (Weibo@Heavy Industry Group Leader Yu Yanshu)
Serialized Magazine: "Anime Friends·Animation 100"/"Anime Friends·Manga 100"
Another classic work by Uncle Yu is also an earlier work than "Boy Wrench", and comics with the theme of underworld are rare! But the plot of "Black and White Invincible" is not scary at all, and it is more like a modern story that introduces some mythological content.
Long Song Xing
Author: Xia Da (Weibo@Xia Da)
Serialized magazine: "Man Friends"
If Xia Da, who painted "Zi Buyu", is a fairy, "Long Song Xing" is her work of the gods. With the ancient Tang Dynasty as the background, it tells the historical story of the active growth of Princess Yongning Li Changge. I still remember that "Manyou" once made a special issue for "Long Song Xing". It feels so good to watch the whole page.
A few more pictures are inserted below to let everyone take a closer look at Xia Da’s brushstrokes, which can only be described in the word "craftsmanship".
While writing this, the blood cannot stop the boiling. However, the space is limited, and there are countless excellent works and cartoonists who have no time to give examples. Now that years have passed, they may no longer reach their peak, or they may seem to fade away from our sight, but in the hearts of our generation, cartoonists are always young and always the most shining light ahead.
I wonder if you are reading this article at this moment have you read these comics, but it is not too late to understand now, because these great cartoonists are real treasure boys and girls!
"We will be a comic fan for life!"
