This is for teens, the time-strapped fans of graphic novels and all who love a good real-life story. The tales here of power, struggle and betrayal were inspired by the best-selling Men in White. They were picked because they captured the imagination of The New Paper team behind The Illustrated Men in White. Says author Ng Tze Yong: "We felt the tales selected for our slim book just had to be told in a graphic way to those who might never delve into Singapore's political roots. We have tried to bring the tales to colour and life, so you can feel the emotions, comprehend the urgency, be there."

The graphic novel begins at the close of World War II, and stops at 1961, just before the familiar story of merger and separation begins.
