Ria Robillo Lu, the Dabawenya who dreamed up Talecraft, and her creative team are venturing into a free comics magazine called Espresso. Read more about this exciting new project here.
This is from Komikasi Enterprise, the publisher of Espresso:
What is Espresso?
Espresso is a weekly comics magazine that features one-shot comic stories, as well as an ongoing comic series, by Filipino Comic Creators. Espresso will be distributed for FREE at the stations of the Light Rail Transit (LRT) Lines 1 and 2.
Our Vision
We love comics. And because of that, our vision is to see the Filipino Comics Creator up there among the popular, best-selling, beloved and respected.
Our Mission
We have, therefore, taken it upon ourselves to provide a venue for new and old Filipino artists to showcase their works. Our mission is to help promote the works of Filipino Comic Creators throughout the country by printing quality comic features from different creators from all over the country, and distributing these comics for FREE!
Espresso will be launched this Saturday, 12 June 2010. It will be held at Mag:net Katipunan; cocktails will be served from 6:00pm.
How I wish such a creative publication would be available in Davao City as well…. Well, maybe once Espresso is already successful in Metro Manila, Komikasi might consider bringing it to the south.
Kudos to my cousin Ria! I hope the magazine takes off with a blast!
could it be distributed here in Iloilo city? :)
Hi Adelle. You know, I'm sure the Komikasi team have it in their minds to make Espresso a nationwide publication, but I guess they have to make it work in Metro Manila first. But why don't you go ahead and contact them via the Espresso blog?
Thanks for reading AngDabawenyo.com! :)
