KAMPUNG SUNGAI MERAH, 1905
KAMPUNG SUNGAI MERAH, 1905
A time when outlaws and bounty hunters stalked the land, terrorising residents from coast to coast. The law exists, but it's stretched thin, buckling under the weight of gang violence and constant clashes. This is no sleepy village. It's a boiling cauldron of crime and survival.
Enter our protagonist, Razak. Part outlaw, part vigilante.
His name drifts between whispered warnings and tales of improbable courage. Whatever the truth, Razak walks his own path, a hired hand guided by coin, but sometimes betrayed by his conscience.
READY TO SADDLE UP?
Illustrated in bold lines and sunburnt tones by Shuen Zhi Chua, you'll see how Razak is viewed through many lenses, hero to some, menace to others. This is a world of blurred lines and unanswered questions. And by the last page, you’ll be left with more mysteries than truths.
THE ACCIDENTAL COWBOY
Some stories begin with a hero.
This one began with an outfit of a friend.
All it took was a sarong and a hat.
Suddenly Sungai Merah had its own outlaw.
