We might think that our grandparents have put their best adventuring days behind them. But maybe there's more lore to them than you realise – especially if they have superpowers like Ash's ah ma does!

It all started with the thought that we'd probably never see a comic featuring an old Asian woman as a superhero, and Melanie Lee’s idea to try and make it happen. Years later, she and Arif Rafhan brought the intergenerational superhero team of our dreams to life 💫

Get the Amazing Ash & Superhero Ah Ma trilogy this grandparents’ day at https://differenceengine.sg/comics/amazing-ash-superhero-ah-ma-bundle/

Cathlyn Vania's short comic "The Other World" dives into a space we're all familiar with — when you're fighting to stay present but feel the firm but gentle tug towards your solitary inner world of memories, dreams, and confabulations.

Between daydreams and deadlines, we ask Cathlyn about her creative headspace, balancing reality with creative play, and how childhood memories of selimut kotak-kotak and Batik Tambal inspired the comic’s unique panelling that captures the delicate seams between imagination and reality.

Read "The Other World" in "DELAY: A Comics Anthology", available now from:
Our webstore: https://differenceengine.sg/comics/delay-a-comics-anthology/

There was Bill and Ted, Finn and Jake, and now... Sienna and Apollo!

Everyone needs someone who'll be in their creative corner, whether you're just a derpy baby punk songwriter or have fully realised your artistic glow-up. After all, if they can't accept you for your potential, they don't deserve you at your peak 💅

Who’s the Sienna to your Apollo? Tag that one friend below who has stuck by you through both cringe and cool.

Read the full comic “That Time I Cringed So Hard I Ended Up on These Walls” by Nurjannah Suhaimi at the Funan Underground Pedestrian Link (B2), open till 30 Nov. This project is commissioned by Singapore Writers Festival and curated by us ✨
