Trese

In 2024, Dantes Verlag launched Trese, a three-issue comic series bringing the acclaimed Filipino supernatural crime saga to a new audience. Set in a shadowy Manila where mythical creatures walk among humans, the series follows the investigations of Alexandra Trese, a formidable detective who navigates the city's hidden occult underworld. While the series draws on the rich folklore and urban legends of the Philippines, this edition is most associated with the original creative team that established the character's dark, atmospheric world. Trese matters as a compelling entry point for readers new to this celebrated blend of noir mystery and Southeast Asian mythology.
