This project shines a light on the dark creatures of Philippine mythology. The ‘Aswang’ which is an umbrella term that connects various vicious shapeshifting creatures.

However, in this narrative I have flipped the focus less on the horrific actions of the creatures, instead placing the spotlight on how parents use these stories to teach their children to listen and be respectful, potentially traumatizing them in the process. The purpose of this graphic novel is to depict the creatures as a make-shift group and reflect their way of functioning in the real world. This involves a secret organization called ‘Ascorp’, which is funded by the parents of the real world to help develop their children through moral lessons; in this case learning to go to bed early.
