This special comics release produced by the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) is a 12-page adaptation of the origin of the Bernardo Carpio lore. It presents how Filipinos in their own ways have become part of this mythical figure's struggle through many generations.

The comics also features a bonus page of a traditional crossword puzzle that also works as trivia information about the epic tale of the demigod mythological hero of the Philippine Revolution. An accompanying mobile app for download allows users to engage with the 3D character versions of Bernardo Carpio and the "salamangkera" (sorceress) as AR renditions. The said mobile app also features additional content about the Bernardo Carpio project, which includes the comics and the animated film. The digital comics version is intended to be accessible to the public for edutainment purposes. Tuldok also looks forward to the use of the comics, mobile app and its AR features, and eventually, the completed animated short film, for schools, arts and culture groups, and individuals interested in exploring Philippine mythology. Tuldok is currently looking for funds to produce print copies of the comics as well.
