D'abord une œuvre de niche dans les « komiks » philippins, la série noire surnaturelle de Budjette Tan et Kajo Baldisimo, Trese, a été acclamée à l'échelle internationale et a fait l'objet d'une adaptation animée sur Netflix en 2021. Bénéficiant d'une position unique aux confins de l'Asie du Sud-Est, de l'Asie de l'Est et du Pacifique, et culturellement entre l'Est et l'Ouest, les Philippines possèdent une riche tradition graphique qui reflète la diversité de ses peuples et de son histoire. Profondément ancrée dans la mythologie culturelle philippine et illustrant les questions d'actualité dans le cadre urbain trépidant de Manille, la série Trese de Tan et Baldisimo constitue un modèle fantastique pour l'exploration spéculative de la société, des traditions et des arts de la bande dessinée philippins, et elle est tout à fait capable d'exporter cette exploration vers des publics philippins et non philippins à l'étranger. En utilisant la série comme étude de cas, j'explore le succès et la portée de Trese en tant que référence potentielle pour ouvrir la porte à la représentation de plus d'œuvres des Philippines et d'autres régions du monde avec des traditions de bande dessinée sous-discutées.
