Starting today (March 19), official first-day covers of the "Old Master Q II" series are available for purchase at all post offices and through Hongkong Post's online shopping platform, "ShopThruPost." The special stamps and related philatelic products will be available for sale starting April 2 at all post offices and "ShopThruPost."

The "Old Master Q" comic series has been a cherished part of Hong Kong's cultural history, entertaining generations of readers. Launched in 1962 by the original creator Wong Kar-hei, who used the pen name Wong Chak after his eldest son, the comic was first published in local newspapers.
In 1995, Wong Chak took over the creation of "Old Master Q" from his aging father. He has since continued to uphold the spirit of the comic, which remains popular to this day.
