    Description

    Rare Koh Sia Yong A Mirror of Our Times a Story in Cartoon Asian Political Cartoon Book 1979-1980. This was a limited edition printing of 1000 copies and I can't find another one that was sold or is available for sale on the internet at this time.  Yong, Koh Sia.  A Mirror of Our Times a Story in Cartoon 1979-1980.  Illustrated by Koh Sia Yong. Paper wraps 166 pages, 84 black and white cartoons. Published by Koeh Sia Yong 1995. Printed by Fortuna Printing. Limited Edition 1000 copies.
    This book was printed in 1995 but the political cartoons reflect the time period of 1979-1980.  They are broken down by category and reflect the political climate of the time.  There are sections dedicated to Iran, Vietnam, Cuba and the oil crisis. "The few artists who drew political cartoons in the late 1970s like Koeh Sia Yong had to draw political cartoons of other countries instead. It is appropriate to say that Koeh’s fate of drawing cartoons of other countries coincide with the start of comic book era in Singapore."
