Here’s a few pages off of my graphic novel, ‘Taubat Si Tanggang’ (The Redemption of Tanggang) with English translation.

In the Malay folk tale, Si Tanggang was cursed by his mother, turning him into stone for shunning his parents. In this book, instead of meeting his demise by the curse, Tanggang is transformed into a rock-like monster. He sets off to find his mother to beg for forgiveness and meets a variety of characters from other Malay folk tales along the way.

"No one fights like Badang! No one hits like Badang!” Can Tanggang take on Badang in a match? Or is there somebody else?

Taubat Si Tanggang (The Redemption of Si Tanggang) Here’s a sneak preview of the opening sequence of the graphic novel I’ve been working on. It is based on the Malaysian folklore of ‘Si Tanggang’ (or ‘Malin Kundang’ as it is known in Indonesia). In the folk tale, Si Tanggang perished as he was turned to stone by his mother’s curse for shunning her.  But what if Tanggang didn’t die when he was turned to stone? Our story follows the adventures of Si Tanggang as he seeks for ways to atone for his sins. Along the way, he meets various characters from other Malaysian folklore. Shedding new light and new stories from these age-old, well-loved characters.
