REVIEW “Just read Dr. Skintag, a 24-page indie horror comic written by Jay B. Kalagayan and illustrated by Rialin José. It’s set in Tagaytay during the Christmas season, but don’t expect holiday cheer — this one leans into body horror and Filipino folklore in a quick, nasty little read.”
“Writer Jay B. Kalagayan crafts a short, but atmospheric, memorable and effective tale here, with gross (if not particularly gruesome) body horror, melding with Filipino folklore to create something entirely unique.
Rialin José’s stylised, black and white art is really effective, with plenty of close ups; skin tags and facial expressions feature prominently, with some genuinely unsettling imagery in the story.”
