Filipina cartoonist goes internationalBy The Manila TimesWhile artwork from local comic strip legends such as Mars Ravelo (“Darna”) and Carlo J. Carapas (“Panday”) are utterly adored throughout the country, there is little local attention being given to a Filipina cartoonist who is making big waves all around the world. Born and raised in the Philippines, Garcia always drew and created comics for fun. It has also been featured in The Comics Journal, Broken Frontier, High-Low, Just Indie Comics, and more.

Launched in November, it featured Garcia’s comic about growing up Catholic in the Philippines.
