Komiket: The Filipino Comics and Art Market at SM Mega Mall

Hello Sweeties,

Even with the suggestion from the health department that it is best that if we did not go to public places because of the 2019 nCoV ARD but  did not stop us from going to the Komiket at SM Mega Mall. We ventured on last Saturday February 8, 2020 and by we I meant me and my son Jarod.

The Komiket usually happens at Centris Elements but this time its a new venue, SM Mega Mall Trade Hall A. I don’t usually go to Mega Mall anymore because I felt it was too far away and I had other malls closer to home to shop for what I need.

Since it’s the Komiket and I have been waiting for a copy of Russel Molina’s Sixty-six, my son and I planned our commute.

Ticket art by Mervin Malaonzo

The ticket cost 100php and totally worth it. The ticket itself is a great piece of art by comics creator and artist Mervin Malonzo the author of The Tabi-Tabi Po books, a Spanish era horror series you guys should really check out here.

They opened the gates of the Mega trade hall A around 11 AM. Which is a good thing Jarod and I were there at 11 AM.

Hello Sweeties,

Last week my son and I went to one of our pilgrimages, it involves one of my passions which is Komiks. This year only Jarod and I attended since Raffy was busy with her University studies. We arrived very early since we only ever spend 1/2 a day at the Komikon anyway. This post is really about my haul and what I have read so far.

Please bear with this photo heavy post.

The first booth I went to was the Anino/ Adarna Booth.

Lire by Magtira Paolo, finished this and I found that the truth in this piece is so tangible I was in tears after reading it.

Ako ang Bayan written by PD Guinto and illustrated by Manix Abrera  Short but very very hopeful book that talks about the hero in all of us.

Manix Abrera’s 14th book, it came in two covers. I have not read this yet

Janus Silang comics, I know there are 2 books and this comics so far about Janus Silang, I am saving this book for last so I have not gotten around to reading it.
