由騎劫到求索：論江康泉的文學改編漫畫

From Hijacking to Questing: On Kongkee's Literary Adaptations in Comics

江康泉為香港本地的漫畫家及動畫導演，曾於2007年伙拍智海出版的《大騎劫：漫畫香港文學》上下兩冊對許多香港文學作品都作出了改編，嘗試在漫畫這種流行文化與所謂「嚴肅」的文學作品作出實驗及碰撞，並以二次創作的方式去再現香港文學作品。而有了先前的出版經驗，江康泉於2023年出版《離騷幻覺：宇宙旅行社》，漫畫塑造了充滿賽博龐克風格的兩條時間線——古代的楚國與現在的香港；而其中包含了兩個重要的主題，分別為「離騷」與「幻覺」：前者表示漫畫大量互文《楚辭》作品，並且借助塑造屈原的形象，隱喻了漫畫世界與現實世界的區別；後者則表示作品充滿錯亂與幻覺，令整個作品都充滿着神秘色彩，甚至處處展顯着幽靈性，並在堆疊的香港元素中喚回讀者的集體回憶，由現代香港中展現屈原的精神。本論文有意探討江康泉如何利用漫畫的敘事、表現功能與美術風格來轉述文學創作，成為「文本跨界」的一個範例－－如何在「汨羅香江」的異質空間之中，對文學資源進行「經典再生產」。

Kongkee, a Hong Kong-based comic artist and animation director, collaborated with Chihoi in 2007 to publish The Hijacking (vols. I & II), adapting a wide range of Hong Kong literary works. In this project, he sought to experiment with and create collisions between comics, a form of popular culture, and so-called ''serious'' literary works, re-presenting them through derivative creation. Building on this earlier publishing experience, Kongkee released Dragon's Delusion: Cosmic Travel Agency (2023). This comic constructs two cyberpunk-inflected timelines: ancient Chu and contemporary Hong Kong. Within it, two key themes emerge: Li Sao and Illusion, the former signifies the comic's heavy intertextual engagement with the Songs of Chu, while the figure of Qu Yuan serves as a metaphor for the boundary between the comic's world and reality. The latter highlights the work's disordered and hallucinatory qualities, imbuing it with an aura of mystery and spectrality. Through layered Hong Kong elements, it evokes the collective memory of readers and re-enacts the spirit of Qu Yuan within modern Hong Kong. This study aims to examine how Kongkee employs the narrative strategies, expressive functions, and visual styles of comics to reinterpret literary works, offering a case of textual cross-bordering. Namely, it investigates how literary resources are subjected to classical reproduction within the heterogeneous space between the Miluo River and Victoria Harbour.
