Doorkeeper: A Graphic Novel by Budjette Tan, Ethan Chua, Scott Lee Chua
4.0
"Things don't change right away, but the revolution... It begins with whispers and murmurs, and an old tune that won't fade."
I truly believe Filipino authors and artists are world class, and this short work is proof! Comparisons to SANDMAN are inevitable, but DOORKEEPER is uniquely Filipino. With a collection of short stories that reinterpret our country's past and foretell a possible future... beautifully told and exquisitely illustrated... and a frame narrative that ultimately brought me to tears, this is a winner! My only complaint is that it was too short! I want, nay, NEED... more.
I hope a sequel will follow!
This book also made me realize that a re-read of FLORANTE AT LAURA is in order 😂
(Rated 4 out of 5 stars)
