Las Islas Filipinas, 1774. Sabina, the young daughter of an exiled Spanish Conquistador, is abducted by an Iranun pirate and taken to the island of Jolo. There, she discovers her true identity as the granddaughter of the Sultan of Sulu and meets a mysterious swordsman called "Alandal".

Brought to life through the stunning black and white illustrations of comics legend and Will Eisner Comic Hall of Fame inductee Alex Nino and written by musician, producer, and director J. Philip Ignacio, ALANDAL explores a pivotal era in Filipino history and uses the enduring power of speculative fiction to explore the complexities of history and identity. ALANDAL is an Official Selection of the Philippine International Comics Festival and won the 2022 National Children's Book Award for Best Reads and the 2023 National Book Award for Best Graphic Novel.
