The F00L's Progress said:
Troy is the Fool who stepped off the edge of a cliff. Quitting his job in New York’s music industry, the guy who couldn’t really draw wanted to draw comics. Last year, Troy found himself on a 22-hour flight heading back to… Singapore.“The Resident Tourist” is a story about Troy, written and drawn by Troy Chin himself. This is an autobiographical graphic novel, following his adventures as a comic artist in Singapore. The multi-layered narrative wasn’t at first intended to be a commentary of the Singapore society. Yet, the critique of the Singaporean identity and culture stand out strongly as one of the main themes of this novel as Troy’s life unfold through the pages
Recommended by Anonymous Coward: "About independent comic artist Troy Chin, whose stories about Singapore have more truth and sincerity that all of Jack Neo's movies. "
