It sets out preliminary comparisons of the komiks and the animated adaptation through close reading, identifying narratological strategies involved in the transmedia shift from a highly episodic comic book series to a relatively condensed animated TV series. This paper is part of a larger study on the entry of Philippine pop-text and mythological “database” into the transcultural media mix. In June of 2021, the six-episode animated series began airing on Netflix. The series has since had many volumes and variants, also receiving multiple awards, including the Philippine National Book Award for Best Graphic Literature in 2010. In 2008, the first collected volume, Trese: Murder on Balete Drive, was published by Visprint, Inc. In 2005, Budjette Tan and KaJO Baldisimo created Trese as an independent series of 20-page komiks, to be reproduced via photocopy and sold at local pop-culture conventions in Manila, as well as posted online.
