      Political interference had hindered the development of the comic in Taiwan before. During the Japanese occupation, the topics of comics were strictly inspected by the government, and because of this the two cartoonist Yang Guocheng and Chen Jijhang was once put into jails. However, the first local cartoonist Jilong Sheng, whose real name was Chen Binghuang, came on the scene and was very popular in this period.

      When Taiwan was just recovered, the first general magazine, Sinsin Yuekan, offered the space for cartoonists to publish their works. However, because of the shortage of fund, this magazine only lasted for 8 issues. The other magazine, Taiwan Huakan, and the comic storybook by Wang Chaozong were also the pioneers in Taiwan.

Among the cartoonists, Syu Songshan and Ye Hongjia both had their own studios, which rapidly produced new comics to adapt to the marked.

      The comic censorship practiced in the end of 60s restrained the blooming condition in the wusia comic circle, and brought this golden period of the wusia comic to the end. Until the 80s, when the comic, Wulong Yuan, by Cai Jhihjhong was launched, the Taiwanese comics once again attracted the readers. This book by using an ironic to make fun of the popular kung fu movies and the wusia TV series 'Chu Liusiang.' Later on the book, Cihke Liejhuan, by Jheng Wun was also a big hit. Jheng Wun's other works such as Dongjhou Yingsiong Jhuan, Shensui Meilide Yasiya, and Wansui, impressed many Japanese readers, so he relocated in Japan to develop his career there.
