Profile
Supot Anawatkochakorn has a long established relation with NED Comics' magazine Boom where he published his first comic series named Search. If the first series remains unfinished, its second part named Search 2 was fully completed. Supot A faded from the comics field during a short period of time before launching his most famous series Apaimanee Saga in the magazine Boom under the license of Nation Edutainment Co.Ltd.[1] in Thailand. Its plot was adapted from the Thai novel Phra Aphai Mani by poet Sunthorn Phu. The story takes liberties from the original novel, being adapted in the style of a fantasy adventure comic series and introducing original characters such as demons and monsters. In 2007, he began his current ongoing series, the next part of Apaimanee Saga[2] called The Pirates Dawn, serialized in NED Comics' magazine Boom.[3]
