Philippine komiks, in general, contains several stories per
issue. Some are short stories that conclude on the issue itself, but most are
novel which runs for more than 10 issues or so. As such, it is like a magazine
that has cover stories.
The first issue of any publication is always highly
collectible. In Philippine komiks, the cover story of the first issue adds to
its value, especially if the story is written by a popular writer or drawn by a
famous illustrator.
