The award-winning comic Trese, from ABLAZE Publishing, created by writer Budjette Tan and artist Kajo Baldisimo, is now represented globally in all categories for merchandising by Reemsborko.
“We are delighted to have Reemsborko on-board helping create a must-have range of merchandising for Trese,” said Rich Young, Co-Founder of ABLAZE. “This is going to be great.”
Trese is set in a version of Manila where the mythical creatures of Filipino folklore live in hiding among humans, and follows our heroine Alexandra Trese as she battles with a criminal underworld run by malevolent supernatural beings. Seven volumes of the comic have so far been released in the Philippines and are now being steadily republished worldwide by ABLAZE.
Trese-inspired clothing is about to appear in the US courtesy of two apparel licensees, and apparel is in discussion already in Europe. The property is due to become even more popular this year when the animated version airs on Netflix.
“Trese is phenomenal storytelling,” said Max Arguile of Reemsborko. “Budjette and Kajo first learned of these mythical beasts as kids via bedtime stories from their parents. Once the Netflix series hits, we should already have product in the market for the fans.”
