Wong Chun-loong[1] (born 27 March 1950), better known by his pseudonym Wong Yuk-long or Tony Wong, is a Hong Kong manhua artist, publisher and actor, who wrote and created Little Rascals (later re-titled Oriental Heroes) and Weapons of the Gods. He also wrote adaptations of Louis Cha's novels, such as The Return of the Condor Heroes (retitled as Legendary Couples), Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, and Ode to Gallantry. For his contribution and influencing a generation of artists in the local industry, he is regarded as the "Godfather of Hong Kong comics" or "Hong Kong's King of Comics".[2]

He provided the art for Batman: Hong Kong, which was written by Doug Moench.[3] He has also acted in some films occasionally, including making a cameo appearance in Dragon Tiger Gate (a film adapted from Oriental Heroes).

History

He was born in Jiangmen in Guangdong. After he turned six, he moved to Hong Kong.[4]

He went to school until age 13, and after then started his artistic work. Wong never attended an educational institution focusing on art.[5] His decision to begin working at 13 was because he could command a relatively high salary at that time.[6]

In 2015 he had plans to have a theme park established in Hangzhou in Mainland China that would focus on comics.[4] The proposed park was to have a cost of $800,000,000 Hong Kong dollars.[7]
