Shanghai Manhua (traditional Chinese: 上海漫畫; simplified Chinese: 上海漫画; pinyin: Shànghǎi Mànhuà), originally titled Shanghai Sketch, was a weekly pictorial magazine published in Shanghai from 21 April 1928 until 7 June 1930.[1] Considered the first successful manhua magazine in China[2] and one of the most influential,[3] it was highly popular and inspired numerous imitators in Shanghai and the rest of China.[4] Shanghai Manhua was known for its provocative cover art and the popular Mr. Wang comic strip by Ye Qianyu.[1][5]
