Description

This article is from the Manga FAQ, by Steve Pearl starbuck@cybercomm.net with numerous contributions by others.

09 Chen Wen $@E"Ld(B

Chen Wen worked for a dozen design companies before starting his own studio,
working as an illustrator and comic artist. He has pioneered the use of the
Chinese calligraphy brush to draw modern manga, though this is an exacting
process, where one tiny slip can ruin the whole page. Today he is one of
Taiwan's most prominent manga-kas. Chen Wen's hobbies include collecting
models, swimming, reading, and watching movies.

(born 27 December 1958, Tao Yuen, Taiwan)
