Komiket, Comics Dojo and Komikon Now Offering Workshops

Three komiks creation workshops are now available for fans of all ages who want to create and sell their own komiks. 

BOOK LAUNCH: Dead Balagtas Tomo 1: Mga Sayaw ng Dagat at Lupa by Emiliana Kampilan

This weekend will mark the official book launch "Dead Balagtas Tomo 1: Mga Sayaw ng Dagat at Lupa" by Emiliana Kampilan. 

Starting as a Facebook webcomic in 2013, Dead Balagtas was known for its witty and satirical take on the notable events and personalities in Philippine history. In 2017, Emiliana launched the story "Mga Sayaw ng Dagat at Lupa" in the official Facebook page where she narrated the geological origins of the Philippine islands through a series of short stories. It was made available for pre-order last November during Komikon 2017, and was released by Anino Comics in December the same year. Those who pre-ordered a copy were able to get (1) exclusive limited edition Dead Balagtas sticker and (1) pocket calendar together with their book.

Aside from the book launch, there will be a premiere signing for "Ang Hari ng Komyut" and "Sandali".

"Hari ng Komyut" by Lizette Daluz is a collection of six-panel comics about a model commuter and his adventures during his travels while the collaboration work of Mikey Jimenez & Mikey Marchan, "Sandali", is a compilation of slice-of-life stories in Manila. Both books were first released during Komikon 2017.

These books as well as the other titles of Anino Comics are available to purchase online through the Adarna House Publishing Online Store. 

Book launch will be held on Sunday, January 21, 2018 at 2pm in the 3rd floor of Fully Booked, BGC, Taguig.

It's a day after the Komikon and I still have the leftover genkiness from all the feels from yesterday! And I can say that this has been the best Komikon I've ever attended in the past 3 years.

Winter Komikon 2013: An Extraordinary Komikon for an Extraordinary Cause

This year's Winter Komikon 2013 proved to be unlike any other Komikons from before. In the wake of Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan), komiks artists and fans unite at the Bayanihan Center not just to enjoy komiks but to help to the cause of bringing relief to the typhoon survivors. Almost every booth held up signs pledging to donate all or part of their day's sales to the cause.

Beyond Komiks: Other Things YOU Can Do for the Typhoon Yolanda Survivors

Pray for the Philippines by Shirielise

It's already about a week since Typhoon Yolanda devastated the Philippines and still, the news about the devastation and current situation of the survivors continue. There is an endless call for donations as the current stocks of basic necessities in the disaster-stricken areas rapidly deplete.
