Most of these films have been released under more than one title, and while we've done our best to use the one that's most likely to be familiar, that doesn't guarantee you aren't trying to find Crippled Avengers and don't know we've got it as The Return of the 5 Deadly Venoms. And so, we've gathered as many alternative titles as we can find, including their original language title(s), and arranged them in alphabetical order in this index to help you out. Remember, English language articles ("a", "an", "the") are ignored in the sort, but foreign articles are NOT ignored. Hey, my Japanese is a little rusty, and some languages just don't have articles.

  • Our Memories of Reading Are Inextricably Linked to the Joy We
    BIBLIOASIA APR – JUN 2016 Vol. 12 / Issue 01 / Opinion My first concrete memory of reading is of me sitting on the floor of my school library, completely immersed in the pages of the book my head was buried in. I can’t recall mthe title of the book, but I remember my single-minded absorption in the story, and the mild irritation felt when the bell rang to signal the end of recess. The library at Marymount Convent School was on the first floor, wedged mid- way between my classroom on the second floor and the canteen in the basement. It seemed like a huge space full of books to a 9-year-old but looking back now, it was probably about the size of three large classrooms. It was here where I borrowed books by Enid Blyton and read about the adventures of Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys. Some of my favourite books tucked away on the shelves included Black Beauty by Anna Sewell, Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Little House on the Prairie series and L.

  • From the Beano to Old Master Q: British and British Hong Kong Comics
    Zheng Wang Writing Sample From The Beano to Old Master Q: British and British Hong Kong Comics As James Chapman points out in his British Comics: A Cultural History, “Work of Martin Barker and Roger Sabin represents the only sustained academic engagement with comics in Britain … the British comic has never achieved the cultural cachet of the bande dessinée, but nor has it found a popular mythology equivalent to the American superhero tradition.”1 This remark reveals the long-neglected situation of British comics in western art historian academia. However, comics in general, no matter in which nation or period they are made, have never attracted a deserving amount of academic attention until recent years. This analysis will present a comparative study of British comics and Hong Kong comics. By showcasing important comic works across two cultures, this study strives to compare and identify the artistic elements between the modern (including early modern) British comics and its Hong Kong counterparts. The display of images and comic strips will serve to illustrate the British and Hong Kong comic culture and more importantly, to expose the influence of British comics on Hong Kong comics. Specifically, my discussion will include works from both Britain and Hong Kong to provide a comparative perspective with a greater focus on the late 19th century, early 20th century and the1950s. For British works, I will concentrate on the two famous works, The Beano, and The Dandy, along with other comics. For their Hong Kong counterparts, 1 James Chapman, introduction to British Comics A Cultural History (Islington, London: Reaktion Books, 2011), I.
