The art direction for the story was presented from a meta perspective — a comic book creator presented within the frames of a comic book-esque, documentarian layout — that is not unlike the actual 'Charlie Chan' book itself, with the protagonist presented as a comic book character, within a comic.
Art direction and editorial by Tan Boon Hau.
