    DELAY

    A Comics Anthology


    Book — Prose / Short Story, Anthology


    DELAY

    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.
