With scenes of feline superheroes flying past the famous Marina Bay Sands resort and a character modelled on the country’s symbolic mythical creature, the intergalactic comic-like graphic novel Starlight Cats presents Singapore in an altogether alternative universe.
The brainchild of husband-and-wife duo Shane Davis and Yanzi Lin, the comic stars the city state’s population of street cats – a common sight in the alleyways and backstreets of Singapore.
Three years in the making, Starlight Cats features a team of feline superheroes who join forces with a young girl to battle evil rat-like aliens. The first in the series, Starlight Cats: Merlion Rising , is set to hit the market next year after initial funds were raised on the Indiegogo crowdfunding website.
