Doorkeeper: A Graphic Novel by Scott Lee ChuaMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
"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)
