Dive into the heart of 18th-century Philippines with "ALANDAL," a gripping tale of adventure, self-discovery, and the intertwining fates of cultures and individuals. Crafted by the dynamic duo of writer Jay Ignacio and illustrious illustrator Alex Niño, this speculative fiction/action masterpiece brings to life the story of Sabina, a young girl of Spanish descent who finds herself caught in a whirlwind of historical tumult and personal transformation.
Set in the year 1774 in the Islas Filipinas, Sabina's journey begins with her abduction by Iranun pirates, leading her to the mysterious island of Jolo. It is here, amidst the backdrop of colonial strife and cultural clash, that Sabina uncovers her true heritage as the granddaughter of the Sultan of Sulu. Her life takes an even more dramatic turn when she meets Alandal, a enigmatic swordsman with secrets of his own.
"ALANDAL" is not just a story; it's a journey back in time to a pivotal era in Filipino history, brought to life through the stunning black and white illustrations of Alex Niño. This collaboration between Ignacio and Niño merges historical depth with speculative intrigue, making "ALANDAL" a must-read for fans of historical fiction, speculative adventure, and graphic novels.
With 96 pages of captivating storytelling, "ALANDAL" is accessible to readers aged 13 and up, offering both young adults and older readers a window into a richly imagined past. The book is presented in English, allowing it to reach a broad audience, and measures 11.69x8.27 inches, making it a substantial addition to any comic book or graphic novel collection.
"ALANDAL" is a testament to the rich storytelling tradition of the Philippines and the enduring power of speculative fiction to explore the complexities of history and identity. Add this compelling softbound edition to your collection and embark on a journey through time, culture, and self-discovery with Sabina and Alandal.

from 90 reviewsGaling na! I’ve been such a big fan following Ninong Ry on tiktok and I’m so excited to start making his recipes. The book is so beautifully laid out, funny, and easy to follow. Being a 1st gen Filipino-American, there are a lot of things that get lost from one generation to another (especially in cooking) and I feel Ninong Ry helps to fill those gaps. Thanks for the opportunity to get one of his books stateside!
These folks are the best. Support them.
The flash cards are excellent quality; colorful and easy to read, use, and handle. I was surprised at how quickly the order arrived at my doorstep. Great service and great product. Looking forward to ordering more from Hot Tropiks!
Its a good story but its a lot shorter then I anticipated it would be.
Love the art style and story, can’t wait for more!
Such beautiful work.
Loved it so much i bought another Because I lost some weight. Love the designs and hope some new ones come out for me to buy
The beautiful cover illustration of Zsazsa Zaturnnah drew me in and the pages of dialogue kept me hooked! This has been the MOST FUN I've had reading comics in ages! I began reading it as soon as I bought it at the Liwanag Litfest in Long Beach. I was cackling with laughter all by myself and I didn't care if people were staring at me! My family was laughing with me as I read them excerpts of the dialogue! Aside from the funny antics, there's also themes of friendship, love (of self, of neighbors and romantic love) and believing in one's self. I'm glad I brought Zsazsa Zaturnnah into my life!
Fits good. It's part of my disguise when I'm deep in the country. Material is like any other hat
yaaaas!
Its good i like it so much even the story and art is good i hope something new this coming year im a pinoy an proud for being Filipino
My daughter saw the book when I opened the package after work. Started reading it at night and finished the first 7 chapters before bedtime then finished the rest of the book the next day! Now she's asking to buy the next book. :)
I love learning about different mythology and to do it through graphic novels was awesome. Also, I love to support small businesses, so no brainer. I was happy to discover this shop and will be happy to purchase more in the future.
