典藏再現！《經典·穿越 陳弘耀》12月5日於臺中國家漫畫博物館正式開展！

In 2025, to commemorate the 10th anniversary of comic artist Chen Hung-Yao’s passing (1964–2015), the exhibition Beyond Limits – The Art of Chen Hung-Yao was presented for the first time. This time, Timeless・ Limitless・Chen Hung-Yao, presented at the East Side Park of National Taiwan Museum of Comics (NTMC), focuses on the perspective of “fans and enthusiasts” and demonstrates how enthusiasm and fans continue to revive his work, transcending time and space. The exhibition space recreates the wood partitions from when the artist created his work, Ouch! Big West, allowing visitors to step back in time. The opening scenes of Chen’s representative work, The Legend of Yi-Dow, alongside its later manuscripts, are displayed, enabling fans to re-experience the shock and melancholy once felt by its devoted readers. The original color cover artworks are shown in two separate stages for the first time—a gesture of sincerity marking the artist’s debut at the NTMC. Additionally, the much-requested Red Fox, a fan favorite, is also showcased in two phases, featuring rare original manuscripts. The section “Video Game Posters: Revisiting the Glorious 1990s ” captures Taiwan’s golden age of video games, evoking the youthful memories for players. Additionally, the covers of the traditional Chinese.

edition of Tanaka Yoshiki’s novel series, The Legend of the Galactic Heroes, remain a collective memory for first-generation readers. The cover art for the Discovery Channel series, Unknown Taiwan, highlights Chen’s ability to communicate through craftsmanship. In his independently published short sci-fi work from 2011, Time Trick, each story reveals a unique style and has been affectionately dubbed by younger generations as “our Black Mirror.” The magical allure of time travel, which fascinates fans, is vividly realized through the character “Airman.” A decade after Chen’s passing, the world has undergone tremendous change—from social media to artificial intelligence. Culture now spreads through “memes,” and comics are among the earliest forms of memetic creation that inspired dedicated fandoms. The phrase “Enthusiastic Devotion” in the exhibition title honors “fans and enthusiasts,” acknowledging that timeless works cannot exist in isolation—they endure because of those who love them. We appreciate each visitor for their passion; through your enthusiasm, the classics remain ever new and enduring.
