Another local comic got picked up by a foreign publisher. This time its Sparrows' Roar's turn. Created by C.R. Chua and Paolo Chikiamco in 2015, it was first published by Studio Salimbal. Its once grayscaled pages will soon be seen in color as BOOM! Studios gives it a new look for 2019.
From the 10 paged preview that was released by BOOM! Studios, most of the pages have been retained. There were just some minor alterations by adding or changing some lines to further improve the story telling.
A Sparrow's Roar, a BOOM! Studios' BOOM! Box imprint will be available on October 16, 2019. It will also be available online on various digital platforms such as ComiXology, iBooks, Google Play and BOOM! Studios app.
Let's continue to support our local works so that our stories will continue to be seen by a wider audience around the world.
Synopsis of A Sparrow's Roar published by BOOM! Studios
"Per and her older sister Elena are both knights in the land of Esterpike. But while Per is a mere knight-in-training, Elena is a war hero and the revered commander of the most famous soldiers in all the land, the legendary Lions of Esterpike. When disaster strikes, Per must do the unthinkable and pretend to be her sister in order to travel to the capital and rally the troops against an incoming invasion that only she knows about. It'll take all her strength, cunning, and a bit of help from her sister's second-in-command, Amelia, to pull it off but with the fate of the people in her hands, Per has no choice but to step into Elena's boots in order to save the kingdom."
