A rough pencil sketch of a comic or graphic novel cover titled “Between Panels.” The hand-drawn lettering is arranged in large block letters, with the “A” in “PANELS” replaced by a padlock icon. Below the title are the credits “Written by Scott Lee Chua” and “Illustrated by Ren2x Galeno.” A sketched masked character in a cap appears in the lower left corner, pointing upward, while construction lines and layout guides remain visible throughout the unfinished design.

Panel 1: A kopi shop. July 1963, 1:30pm. Panels 2 to 7: A conversation between the Mosquito Press publisher, young Charlie Chan and Bertrand Wong, the co-creators of Roachman. Publisher: (gestures to waiter) Boss! Three kopi-o! (to boys) Here's the latest issue of Roachman, hot off the press... and the $200 I owe you boys for the last issue. I know you've been hoping for a raise too... but we're only just about breaking even right now... (Waiter: 30 cents.) Boss: Especially with the government's anti-yellow culture campaign going on...some of the rental stores are worried about carrying your books because of the covers... Charlie: But you said that we had to exaggerate the covers, make them racier, to attract more readers... Publisher: Yes, yes. Trust me, I know... it's a real Catch-22 situation! Charlie: Hey, isn't that the book you've been reading, Bert? Bertrand, sipping tea: Mm. Publisher: Sometimes, you just can't win!

Books Kinokuniya, Singapore. Charlie Chan stands in front of a shelf of books. "I come here for my comics these days. Used to go to specialist shops... after the war, there were also what we used to call 'five foot way libraries'. Another name for them was 'pavement libraries.' An ink drawing of a streetside comics library entitled "Five Foot Way Library" by Chan Hock Chye, 1966. "All sorts of comics started trickling in, from Hong Kong, Shanghai, and the UK... being English educated, I couldn't really read the ones in Chinese or other languages... But I liked looking at the pictures... and there was one that especially caught my eye."
