Traffic. A crunchy snack. An argument. What does sound look like to you?

Difference Engine's first ever comics anthology gathered writers and illustrators from all around Southeast Asia and challenged them to push the boundaries of depicting the unseen through the medium of visuals and words, while telling stories important to them. 

Guest editors Budjette Tan and Charis Loke have put together an intriguing list of stories that showcase the creativity of creators across Southeast Asia — both familiar and new names. In a broad range of genres and topics, this collection of stories is an exciting exploration of what the comics medium is capable of.
