Hong Kong comics "godfather" Tony Wong Yuk-long is turning his creative dreams into reality with a HK$800 million theme park that he calls a "boutique version" of a crossover between Universal Studios and Disneyland.
But this new tourist attraction based on the city's strong cultural heritage of comics is not in Hong Kong - it will be built in Hangzhou, Zhejiang.
"I'm a little disappointed that this cannot be built in Hong Kong. Land in Hong Kong is an issue," said the author behind Tiger Wong and classic titles like Dragon and Tiger Heroes. He made his debut aged 13 and recently celebrated his 50th anniversary in the comics industry.
