    I used to buy the culture crash comics, a mini comic book with multiple series made by Filipino artists. This photo reminds me of the time I was eagerly buying them. It’s sad that the comic book ended production.

      I’ve only read 1 Culture Crash issue, which I borrowed from my classmate around 20 years ago. Loved it! Too bad my allowance couldn’t afford them, along with K-Zone mags at that time

        I had the complete set once, but sold it in a garage sale with all my inquest and other gaming mags.

      Medyo mahirap din kasi yung self-imposed standards nila with quality paper and full-colored pages. I wonder if they could have done better in the current internet landscape.

    Nakakainggit yung local comics scene ngayon. May mga weeb BS pa rin, but for the most part mas maraming varied art styles and stories. I could see myself setting aside my baon just to buy one every weekend.

    Yeah sure nung panahon namin may komiks, but they tend to be formulaic and poorly-made and we just romanticize them due to nostalgia. Even Wasted was an awful comic as well as Whilce Portacio’s Stone.

      Honestly, I still passed on some titles as the covers were not visually interesting to me. But there was still quite a lot I had to skip due to costs. This was already an unexpected splurge for me, but I like the idea of supporting local authors.
