Lat, the Kampung Boy

A gentle, autobiographical comic series from Malaysia, Lat, the Kampung Boy began in 1979 with Berita Publishing, capturing the childhood of its creator in a rural village. Known for its warm, humorous, and detailed black-and-white illustrations, the series offers a nostalgic and culturally specific look at 1950s kampung life. It remains a beloved touchstone in Southeast Asian comics for its heartfelt, slice-of-life storytelling.
