Containers:
Box 2, Folder 14
Dates:
2017 December
Creators:
Basilla, Saturnino
Scope and content:

In the Philippines, Bomba Komiks is the general term applied to adult-oriented comics that contain graphic nudity and sexual themes. This zine was prefaced with the question, why read pornography? Saturnino Basilla aims to reclaim pornography, where people's most repressed feelings, experiences, feelings about those experiences, and experiences about those feelings can be reflected. These comics are not to be seen as pornographic content only, but as a means of resistance against censorship.
