DELAY: A Comics Anthology

Looming milestones, and missed connections. Resisting mainstream expectations, and doing life at your own pace. What does DELAY mean to you? 

Writers and illustrators from Southeast Asia take on this theme in a comics anthology curated by guest editors Charis Loke and Paolo Chikiamco. From explorations of identity and inner worlds to the twists and turns of modern life, these stories offer restoration, room for reflection, and invite us to reclaim time in our own ways.

"DELAY reminds the reader that joy is the foundation of resilience, and that even messy relationships can be rewarding." —  Kathryn Hemmann, Comics Beat

"Curious readers with time to pause and peruse will find some treasures." — Publishers Weekly

"Overall, the stories feel universally relevant to human experiences... The cultures and colors of Southeast Asia still shine throughout the collection, with snippets of languages and cultural references that enrich the meaning of the stories and make them more vivid." PF Anderson, Graphic Medicine
