Love KOMIKS?:-) Then this event is for YOU! :-)
I'm a big fan of Komiks, not only did I get to work in a publishing industry where
Komiks is one of their proud product, I also enjoyed restoring some of the most epic komiks in our country created by the renowned artists we are all proud of.
Summer Komikon 2013 theme is "For kids and kids at heart." Just look at how adorable our original Pinoy characters as kids/babies as illustrated by their own creators.
KOMIKON or Philippine Komiks Convention aims to bring together different comic book artists/groups and publishers in a venue where they could present their talents, works and services to the public and, most importantly, to aspiring comic artists. This yearly convention would like to bring in different art groups and different generations of artists for a free exchange of ideas, break down stereotypes, and broaden the scope of comics – from international to local, sequential to strips, professional to amateur, and published to independent comics. We would also like to bring to people’s awareness the current state of the Philippine comics industry.
Most importantly, the event focuses on Filipino comics, made by Filipino comic creators, whether published independently, or through a publisher, using various styles of drawing encompassing numerous genres. Though relatively young compared to the more established comics conventions abroad, Komikon is still in its early learning stages and through the support of all the participants, exhibitors and sponsors, Komikon will definitely grow a lot bigger.
Sulyap is a collection of short Filipino independent komiks works, edited by Jon Zamar and published by Komikon Inc.
