In the simplest definition, komiks is a form of reading entertainment popular in the Philippines. The word komiks is the vernacular equivalent of the English “comics” or “comic book.” It also refers to a form of illustrated stories portraying various characters and topics from experiences in everyday life to different kinds of adventures, exploits and heroism, to dramatic or humorous scenes. It can be a very short story or a quite lengthy novel. Since its beginning in 1922, komiks has been the Philippines’ cheapest form of entertainment, until its decline in the late 1990s.
