Comics: Precinto 13 ~ Calling The Parents Of A Little Girl In A Blue Dress

Story by: Budjette Tan
Illustrated by: Atan
Alamat Comics
(5/5 ★★★)


Precinto 13 shares the same universe with the Trese universe. It features short stories of cases that involves the paranormal.

The case presents the story of Tracy, the little girl in a blue dress that got lost in Robertson Mall. The story shows how the little girl is usually ignored and shouted at by her parents. She then got lost in a mall and is held under the temporary custody of the mall security until she is picked up by her parents. However, when two groups of adults shows up claiming to be her parents, she did not pick her dad and instead chose two parental figures who showered her with hugs and concern as they got to her first. The story ends with Tracy's parents asking for help from Capt. Guerrero to find her.

This is a nice story that could be a wake up call for some parents. Since Tracy's story can be heard and seen once in a while from kids who prefers to hangout with their friends rather than be at home. They do this since they are always just ignored or shouted at. What she had done in choosing a total stranger who gave her love and care from the first time they had just met is not far from the reality to some of the cases being reported on the local news.

As usual, Budjette shows his great writing abilities in giving us this story from Precinto 13. It is just a strange feeling for me that this comic is drawn by a different artist since I'm just accustomed that it is usually KaJo who draws stories from the Trese universe. But I don't have any negative remarks for Atan. I liked how he had drawn this comic most especially the cover.

I think no amount of praise will ever be sufficient since I know that stories that are part of the Trese universe is going to be worth the purchase.
