| The Philippine Book Festival is slowly becoming a staple event for those who have an affinity to still have the time to pick up a physical book instead of a Kindle or digital copy that doesn’t have the tactile feel of flipping through pages. This year’s event has immensely grown to expand some of the exhibitors divided into four genres, and it’s interesting to see new things from the local komiks community.
Filipino Komiks were under-represented in the past years before the first book festival last year, it was given quite a spotlight to see independent comics and other related things that would get some eyeballs looking forward to some titles and graphic novels that some haven’t heard of. It’s something worth exploring through some of these new publishers that bring new talent and stories to the wider audience.
