Introducing Darahug: A Visayan Folk-Horror Tale

Some tales are darker than others, and in the case of, Diwata Komiks’ 3rd title release, Darahug – it certainly gets very very dark. From award-winning Filipino comics artist and horror-illustrator, Kael Molo comes a folk-horror tale woven from long-forgotten legends in some of the most remote places in the Philippine islands where ‘the old ways’ still have root in the everyday lives of its inhabitants.

It features a provocative story that may challenge some readers' levels of comfort as it weaves its somber tale of revenge wrapped in a heavily-atmospheric visual style. Darahug will make you believe in the consequences of invoking the supernatural while challenging your perceptions of acceptability.

“From a personal perspective, I am proud to reinforce our company’s commitment to diversity by not only sharing this unique title but also, maintaining the author’s linguistic integrity with the publication of this comic in English and Bisaya – an internationally lesser-known, yet widely-spoken regional language from the Philippines proudly spoken by members of my own family,” says Mark Nazal, Diwata Komiks’ Editor-in-Chief.
