I’ve been exploring komiks from the Philippines since February and Tori Tadiar‘s Sagala is one of the strongest for mashing up the history of the Philippines with genre tropes. This is a fantasy, a western, and something entirely fresh. The intrigue, the art, and the characters all add up to something really special.
A Filipiniana fantasy story about gunslinging girls, overprotective older brothers, mythical ambassadors, and conniving courtesans against a backdrop of deceit and guns hidden under petticoats.
