When it comes to comic books, most people would think of Japan or the Western side of the globe. We bet nobody would ever think about Malaysia. But you’re about to be mind blown because a Malaysian artist has won Best Webcomic for the 2020 Eisner Award and that’s considered as the ‘Oscar’ of the comic world! Not only that, but she was also nominated for Digital Book of the Year for the 2020 Harvey Awards.

As much as it brings pride to the Malaysians, shall we dig into a little bit about this amazing artist? Started in 2015, Erica Eng begins scripting her webcomic ‘Fried Rice’ which was based on her own experiences after graduating high school. A very relatable comic with simple scenes that seem as if it was our own memory. This comic has even lead to Erica Eng’s award with Digital Book of the Year 2020 Harvey Awards & Eisner Award!
