Peskom Bandung 2024 is back! Going beyond last year’s 42 creators, 61 creator booths are listed in this year’s event. By the numbers alone, we can expect more comics, zines, and merchandise to be released this year.
For this year’s event, I decided to gather information about all the comics that were first published in the Peskom Bandung 2024. After some digging, I found 23 new comics were released for the first time in this event. This article contains the title of those 23 comics, the name of the creators, the genre, the price, and the synopsis.
Before we go to the list, I need to remind you that some works may not included in this list as I might have missed some titles while gathering the information. I received this information by visiting all the creators’ booths and asking about the work that they created. If you know some of the titles that I’ve missed, feel free to add them in the comments!
