Sonny Liew (born 26 September 1974) is a Malaysian-born comic artist/illustrator based in Singapore. He is best known for his work on Vertigo Comics' ''My Faith in Frankie'' together with Mike Carey and Marc Hempel, and Marvel Comics' ''Sense and Sensibility'' adaptation. Born in Seremban, Malaysia, Liew attended school at Victoria School and Victoria Junior College in Singapore. He went on to read philosophy at Clare College in Cambridge University in UK and studied illustration at the Rhode Island School of Design in 2001. His first foray into comic illustration was with Singaporean tabloid paper ''The New Paper'' in 1995, contributing a comic strip titled ''Frankie and Poo''. A compilation of the strips was published by Times Publishing in 1996. Shortly after his graduation from Rhode Island Liew met ''The Uncanny X-Men'' writer Chris Claremont who was impressed by his portfolio of work. Claremont not only showed him around the convention, he also gave Liew his first break into the comics industry, by letting him illustrate Iron Man for Marvel's ''Marvel Universe Millennial Visions'' title. His work has appeared in the Flight Anthologies edited by Kazu Kibuishi, and he has served as editor of the Southeast Asian comics anthology ''Liquid City'' comics anthology Volumes 1 and 2 from Image Comics. In 2011, he was nominated for an Eisner award in the pencilling/inking category for his work on SLG and Disney's ''Wonderland'', written by Tommy Kovac. He is also the creator of ''Malinky Robot'', a Xeric Award recipient in 2004 and winner of the “Prix de la Meilleure BD” (Comic Album of the Year) at the Utopiales International SF Festival in Nantes in 2009. He was a recipient of Singapore's Young Artist Award in 2010. In 2015, the National Arts Council withdrew a grant of $8,000 from Sonny's ''The Art of Charlie Chan Hock Chye'', citing "sensitive content" and its potential to "undermine the authority and legitimacy" of the government.〔http://www.todayonline.com/singapore/national-arts-council-revokes-grant-for-graphic-novel-Sonny-Liew〕〔http://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/nac-pulled-grant-from-comic-as-it-potentially-undermines-the-authority-of-the-government〕〔http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/graphic-novel-undermines/1889140.html〕 == List of selected works == *''Doctor Fate Vol 4 #1-12'' (2015-2016, DC Comics) Artist.
